Flat-earthers may have been debunked, but the name still doesn't deter people away from coming to this place – instead, many travel here because of its obscure name. This place was thought to be the starting point of the longest uninterrupted stretch of ocean in the world – if our vision had no limits, the land you'll see will be in Argentina, almost 18,000 km away. However, the longest uninterrupted stretch of ocean is now believed to be from Quebec's North Shore to British Columbia (about 35,000 km).

A ghost town just a few metres outside the park. It's a former mining town in operation when the region thrived on copper. Today, it's deserted with virtually no tourists as it's a fair bit inland from Norfolk Road (C249). Visiting Balfour today is mostly done on a tour organised by Tall Timbers Adventure Tours based in Smithton.
