Although Oz is infamous for its Outback, its barren oxide-rich dust plains and beautiful sandy surfing beaches, it is chock-full of some of the most stunning, outrageous, and unique geologic formations this side of the equator. During my travels in the Great Dividing Range and along the dynamic coastline of eastern Australia, I was fortunate to catch glimpses of some of these rocky phenomena. Here is a photographic account of several such outcrops, holes, how'd-tha-happens, and whazzits of the Australian litho-scene. For a thrilling account of their orogenies and windblown trials throughout geologic time, I am afraid you will have to wait for my conclusive presentation upon my return next semester. Or look it up yourself...but I guarantee the presentation will be cooler.
Yours, tall and truly,
