Description
A scene from the old basalt quarry at Bombo on the New South Wales south coast.
The site operated from the 1880s to the 1950s, quarrying basalt for use on roads and railways. The pillars display columnar jointing typical of oceanic basalt.
The other-worldly nature of the landscape makes it a popular location for photographers and filmmakers. The location is now protected on the NSW state heritage register.
