Located off the rugged Victorian coast, this exotic island remains a mystery to this day.
Wilsons Promontory National Park, the southernmost point of mainland Australia, is home to an isolated, ghostly island that looks like a giant skull from a distance.
Surrounded by azure blue waters and protected by thousands of seals, the mysterious and unspoiled island lies peacefully off the rugged coast.
Countless viewers have been captivated by the large caves, unique cliffs and overall beauty of Cleft Island, which is commonly known as Skull Rock.
Stretching 130 meters, 60 meters high and 60 meters deep, a guide said the island is so big it could engulf the Sydney Opera House. From certain angles, the island looks like a skull, which is why the nickname Skull Island is given to this place.
The island has an elongated shape with a huge opening in the middle, and what lies inside the island's vast cave and the rest is still what excites many adventurous tourists.
Visitors can peer into the dark recesses of Skull Island from a boat, but anchoring and exploring the island is a daunting challenge due to the fast-flowing water and a series of vertical cliffs.
Some explorers have successfully explored Skull Island after being dropped by helicopters. Explorers have discovered a large cave lined with green grass, nesting birds, a few seals, and some rusty cannons that historians surmise were made by animals. passing ships shot at.
As noted, so far only 9 people have successfully approached the cave. Meanwhile, the western part - the practically inaccessible part of the island is the biggest attraction.
Divers have discovered the remains of several ships that unfortunately collided with Skull Island. Divers with keen eyes can even spot a real skull in the depths near the base of the island.
A new tour service has allowed visitors to get up close to the island in a purpose-built boat to traverse the Bass Straight waters, which also gives visitors a refreshing angle to see the park. .
