Ancient Rock Pillars

Ancient Rock Pillars
These ancient pillars of cap rock on the edge of the Jump-Up at the AAOD Museum of Natural History are very old. And despite their appearance, are completely unsuitable for climbing due to their crumbly, fragmenting nature.

Crater Ponds

Crater Ponds Some crater ponds on the edge of the Gondwana Stars Observatory at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History in Winton. These smooth craters are actually regmaglypts, sculpted hollows mimicking the regmaglypts in the surface of a meteorite that has been ablated by heat and friction entering Earth's atmosphere.

Jump-Up's Edge

Jump-Up Edge At the very edge of the jump-up there really is a deep drop. I must get myself back here in a downpour to see the water falling over the edge.

Pond Life
