Hamelin Pool, located in Western Australia, offers a unique range of attractions, including the Hamelin Pool Stromatolites. These ancient living fossils provide a glimpse into early life evolution over 3,500 million years ago. It is one of only two places on the planet where these organisms occur, making it an exceptional and educational experience.
Visitors can also explore the Old Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station, built in 1884 as part of the communication line between Perth and Roebourne. The original building now serves as a museum with artifacts from the region's telecommunications endeavors in the 1800s.
In addition, Hamelin Pool features a 200-meter boardwalk that offers excellent views of the stromatolites, microbialites, and microbial mats. This allows visitors to observe and learn about these unique structures while protecting them by staying on the boardwalk. The nearby 1800-meter Boolagoorda loop trail takes visitors through the old coquina quarry and telegraph station, providing a comprehensive experience of the area's history and natural wonders.
