We will then explore Elephant Rocks before continuing on foot along the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail to Anatini. Here we will discover the fossilised bones of an ancient baleen whale. From Anatini, we will walk back via the same track (Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail) to the Elephant Rocks carpark where the field trip will conclude. On this trip you will gain some basic geological mapping skills.
