Australia - 1996
A few photos from my trip to southern Queensland, Australia in 1996 (which included a trip to northern New South Wales).
The beach at Byron Bay, New South Wales:
Numinbah Valley, New South Wales - rhyolite sill visible on the hillside (light-colored rock) with basalt lava flows above and below (covered by trees), part of the Tweed Shield volcanics, about 20 million years old (thanks to Andrew for the volcanologic info):
The Glasshouse Mountains (Queensland) from the Wild Horse Hill overlook- one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The mountains are remnant volcanoes - actually, the inner plugs to the volcanoes - the outsides of each volcano have been eroded away. This may be what the Cascades in the USA will look like in 100 million years...
