Curio Bay is a small cove and location of an 160 million-year old petrified forest. Tree stumps and fallen logs from the Jurassic period covered by layers of rock and mud spread along the beach. Locals finding these ancient tree parts lent the bay its name. As interesting is the huge triffid-like seaweed (that I've since learnt is called bull kelp) several metres long strewn all along the shore.
