Today we went to Maria island a place that has no cars or shops. We had to catch a boat there and take all our own food for the whole day. We started with a walk to the Fossil Cliffs. There are lots of big rocks with fossils of sea shell aminals that lived 280 million years ago. The walk took about 2 hours. We then stopped for lunch before doing another walk to the Painted Cliffs. This one had a beach on it. This walk also took about two hours. The island has had many uses in the past including a convict settlement, vineyard, cement works and now a national park. There is a lot of wild life on the island. We saw four wombats and lots of pademelon.
