Cape Bridgewater also has many outstanding attractions which are just a short walk or drive away, these include:_
Petrified Forest/ Blowholes / Springs
Drive up over the cape to the blowholes, where waves thump into the rocks sending spectacular spouts of spray skywards.
It is here you will also find the Petrified Forest. This will intrigue you. This forest is not petrified wood. It is thought to have been a forest of melaleuca which was gradually covered by sand. With water seeping down through the sand, a crust of sandstone was formed on the outside edge of the tree trunks which then gradually increased in size.
A 2 km walk west of the headland reveals
freshwater springs created when saltwater is filtered through limestone. This area of the Discovery Bay Coastal Park also has the highest coastal cliffs in Victoria, 130 metres above sea level.
