The southernmost point of mainland Australia, Wilsons Promontory National Park, harbors a deserted island that appears eerily similar to a colossal skull when viewed from afar. The island is located in an isolated area, lending to its mysterious charm.

Nestled amidst crystal-clear blue waters and protected by a large community of seals, lies an enigmatic and untouched island, peacefully situated off the rugged coast. Cleft Island, also known as Skull Rock, has been a source of fascination for many spectators who have been left awestruck by its immense caves, exceptional cliffs, and overall stunning appearance.

According to a local tour guide, Skull Island is an enormous landmass that spans 130 meters in length, stands 60 meters tall, and stretches 60 meters deep. In fact, the island is so massive that it could easily swallow the iconic Sydney Opera House. Due to its distinctive appearance from certain vantage points, it has earned the nickname Skull Island. The island boasts an oblong shape and features a colossal opening in its center. Visitors who love to embark on explorations and adventures are particularly drawn to the island since there is still much to uncover within its vast cave system and beyond.

Tourists have the opportunity to gaze into the shadowy confines of Skull Island from a boat, but landing and investigating the isle presents a formidable obstacle due to swift currents and sheer rock faces. Nevertheless, intrepid adventurers have managed to navigate the terrain by helicopter and make intriguing discoveries. For instance, they have stumbled upon an ample cavern brimming with verdant grass, avian nests, a handful of seals, and some corroded cannons that scholars suspect were fashioned by a ship that once attacked the island.

As per the data, only a mere nine individuals have managed to reach the cave thus far. However, the western portion of the island, which is nearly impossible to access, is the main highlight.

Numerous ships that met with an unfortunate fate and collided with Skull Island have been discovered by divers. With sharp observation skills, divers can also catch a glimpse of an authentic skull at the bottom of the island’s waters.

Tourists now have the option to experience the beauty of the island up close through a recently launched tour service. A specialized boat has been created specifically for crossing the waters of Bass Straight, providing visitors with a unique perspective of the park. This exciting new addition allows tourists to fully appreciate all that the island has to offer.
