jenolan caves
Jenolan, with its caves, underground rivers and natural archways, is an example of a type of landform called "Karst". Karst landforms occur where rock is easily dissolved in natural waters (fresh). Karst landforms are typically found in limestone areas. Karst landforms are a labyrinthine terrain, incorporating the composite elements of air, water and minerals, and supporting diverse biological components.
blue mountains
The Blue Mountains are famous, above all, for their geology. This is a hazy 'blue labyrinth', built in jumbled layers of rich yellow rock. Its flat-topped mountains and sheer cliffs rise baldly from the forests around them. Its rivers plunge into deep, narrow gorges and vast, stretching valleys. This feels like the most ancient of landscapes.
uluru
Uluru was formed 300 million years ago when sand piled up on the bottom of an inland sea that once covered the middle of Australia at Bass Straight. Over the years the wind and rain have beaten against the rock weathering it.
