One of the most astounding places in Australia.

Re: well

Gosse's Bluff?

ahh - good deduction, I reckon. Gotta get there some day - its like 150 million years old or something.

So HGM, has muzza nailed it again?

My backyard. "LoL".

Tis' not fair. I thought a minimum of 4 pics would suffice as the initial post, and that would have meant that I was the king of the castle for more than 2 posts. .

Got no idea....any more clues. :wink: :wink:

well

well....I don't know if I've nailed it......a shot of some uplifted rock could be any number of places in the McDonnells......but when i first viewed Gosses Bluff from the lookout about 20kms out...it took my breath away...I was astonished......it is a huge shatter cone and even now it is big......when it was formed they reckon it was 20kms wide and 4 kms deep......what we see now is just the base of the shatter cone after 3-4kms depth of erosion after all these 100s of millions of years.....much like when we look at Ayers Rock and the Olgas we are just looking at the stumps of a great underground sedimentary rock fold which has eroded some 4 km in depth. the difference in Gosse's Bluff is you can see the shatter cone even in rocks you pick up. it was one mighty explosion...they reckon a comet did it.

well now it didn't look big enough but I guess it is the Eastern face.

My fave memory of Alice Springs is the Pie Shop on larapinta Drive and the Bratwurst sausages from the butchers...yummy on the campfire.

Oh well...guess I better fetch up a pic...thanks HG.

First...this is my artwork of Gosses Bluff out of interest.....



But that is not the contest pic....this is....haha....
