A large whale bone has become a new landmark on part of the Bibbulumun Track near Peaceful Bay.

Walker Spike Miller, who recently completed the arduous track, said he believed it was the top section of a jawbone.

β€œI went to the whaling museum and now feel sure it was part of the jaw bone,” he said.

β€œIt was just over 2m long and on the rocks just south of Peaceful Bay.”

It is believed the bone may be from a whale carcass which washed up on the beach in March.
