Red Cliff Point, Winninowie Conservation Park [Designated as a place of geological significance] |
| Registered Name |
Red Cliff Point, Winninowie Conservation Park |
| Significance |
This is the finest example of several coastal and marine systems, involving interaction of biological and geological processes in an arid-temperate climate. Distinctive seagrass banks of Posidonia australis that fringe the coastline have been the major contributor to carbonate deposition during the Late Holocene. The large tidal range makes this area unique in southern Australia. Highly significant for sea level studies and interaction of biological and geological processes. |
