The Oaks

Just two kilometres from Cape Paterson, on the coast road to Inverloch, lies The Oaks. The view from the car park at The Oaks reveals rocky cliffs and small, sandy bays. An easy walk from the car park brings you out onto a sandy beach surrounded by towering cliffs. The wide, sandstone shore platform has very few conglomerate layers, and only a small possible dinosaur limb fragment has been found here. But there are wonderful examples of freshwater crustacean burrows scattered across the flat areas of sandstone. Some of the burrows have produced bizarre and amazing shapes in the sandstone, and it is worth visiting the area for these alone. They are true pieces of art!
