In Tasmania, there are also two locations called the Tessellated Pavement (Eaglehawk Neck.) and the Organ Pipes (Mount Wellington/kunanyi.) Both were created by the same methods, just likely a lot slower and gentler. The basalt and dolerite flows were slow flood eruptions over much larger timeframes. The Tessellated Pavement differs in that all the blocks are square.
I love it down there in Organ Pipes Nat Park.. feels like a world away from the city even though it's so close. And you really feel your alive walking back up that hill!!!😅
I love this channel. It offers so much educational information. After watching I go off on my own search to further investigate topics I find here. Thank you for expanding my knowledge.
Wow, I really found that interesting. I somehow knew you would say it was in Victoria, wh ich had me thinking back to the mid 1970s, and I realised I must have visited there. The name sounds familiar and the bush looked. But I am not very likely to travel there again; I am an armchair traveller now, and your story about it made it much more interesting than going there in ignorance. I wonder if there is a first nations story as well.
I visited the Organ Pipes NP in late 1972, from memory it was a pretty new NP back then, and the walk from the parking area was what you would call rough by today's standards.. We walked across the creek on the stones sticking out of the water, and marvelled at the close-up view of the piping formation of the wall. I'm sure one is not allowed to cross the creek these days. We never knew anything about a Tessellated pavement section, nor anything about the Rosette stone formation. I think another visit may be required in the not to distant future.
@@anned372 Unfortunately I didn't see you there. 😊 I visited last month and the park has changed enormously, or at least going on my memory from over half a century ago, it seems that way. The Rosette rock formation was hard to see as the viewing area had been damaged by bad weather dropping foliage, but I managed to get to the edge of the water and looked over at it. The tessellated pavement pavement section was interesting to look at. I did have a go at walking over it, but without a walking stick I was all over the place, so I just had a good look. If anyone wishes to see formations like this, then try a visit to Iceland, it is a geologists paradise. I know that people becoming geologists in England in the early sixties did tours of up to 3 months in certain areas (mainly the north east area) to study and geologically map some of the unbelievable formations. This was from a recently departed friend who studied to become a geologist over there at that time and did a couple of 3 month stints doing just that. He and his family eventually resided in the Melbourne area, where I believe he taught geology for quite some time. We spent a couple of months in Iceland in our early retirement years and would love to go back.
Many Thanks covering This Area. I worked there in late eighties for 6 months with a fantastic crew and have alot of fond Memories. Just downstream from Rosette Rock, l was extremely privileged seeing a Platypus swimming in late afternoon for 5mins or more. Its a fascinating place. Hopefully you can get to see Gellibrand State nearby which has Granite boulders near the Homestead and Gellibrand Hill. Keep Up the Great Videos Cheers Mate 🍻😁👍🦘
In Washington State near Mt Saint Helens... we have 'Ape Caves' that are Lava Tubes... hot lava continued to flow under a cooler crust that hardened... named after Bigfoot / Sasquatch / big hairy smelly ape... there are many geological features related to vulcanism in Washington... including longest Andesite flow in world... over 70 miles / 112 km long... and flood basalt over 1 - 2 miles thick...
The pronunciation sounds correct to me, and I'm a 64 year old Australian (WA). I would be interested to know how you would say it phonetically. Bsalt is the way I say it, although I have heard it said as Ba-salt.
do you think the rosette rock was a high pressure lava push while under water with the lava cooling as from water while the centre keeps pushing out ? seen scoria and that is usually when sea water gets into lava while cooling i.e there's a place in Tasmania that has the same thing and Micronesia has a temple complex made of the same hex rock forms which was fascinating to see , where they got them I don't know but was told the make up of the rock was lighter so could be a high pumice mix ? you should go QLD and look at Mt Scorpio I think it's called that was amazing to look at . it could be called Mt scoria which maybe why i call it that
I would be interested in knowing the Australian way of saying it. I'm guessing you prefer the poms way of saying it rather than the yanks way of saying it. I personally prefer the original Latin word basanites 😆
These hills near Daly River, Northern Territory aremade of fragments of sandstone where the wave ripples that form in beach sand when the tide goes out and then subjected to heat that turned it to sandstone. The hils about line up with the perimiter of a circle that touches outside the increased depth of sea floor pushed from indonesia in a north east direction. Its likely debris of a Megatsunami from an indian ocean impact near the Burckle impact. Location: -13.611293, 130.761030

Thank you for sharing these. I really enjoy your info, keep up the great work! 🥰 from the Mornington Peninsula
WOW !! Have been to organ pipes a number of times, more so as a kid, but never knew about the Rosette !! Loving the channel and videos.

at 1:25 you get the full view that explains the old Wadawurrang/Woiwurrung story of "Waang", the trickster.

Such a vast continent with many marvels and undiscovered orebodies to find.
I have been searching this continent for a platinum blonde. . .
All I have found is common ore.
Thanks
Thank you so much for your donation! I appreciate it so much :)
Awesome, there is a similar, though a mallet, outcropping in Bundoora park Melbourne. I look forward to your analysis.
Thank you!!
Battery rock at Gungal and sawn rocks at Narrabri are interesting also.

Super video!!!
Great vids btw...
Would love to see someone add some digital lava imagery to visually explain the process, helps keep the kids interested when i'm on a geology rant. 😎

Why has the normal Australian pronunciation of basalt changed?
The pronunciation sounds correct to me, and I'm a 64 year old Australian (WA). I would be interested to know how you would say it phonetically. Bsalt is the way I say it, although I have heard it said as Ba-salt.
I'd been wondering how it was formed!
That's so interesting

Ahh.. where i go to pick mushrooms 😂😂
I am convinced Oz makes these videos because he love to say "besalt".
Fossilized Sandworm. I'm calling it.🤔
I’ve seen one like this in southe east qld …. I’m trying to remember where
Have you seen the white blow?
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍
Is "patten" meant to be the word "pattern"? No sarcasm, just trying to understand.
Good grief, we seem to have a lot of elocution experts replying to this video. I was able to comprehend the language enough to understand the message.
It can’t be all that. It’s in Victoria after all
Please don't pronounce basalt the American way. It sounds wrong to my Australian ears.

@@WstAus1960 Yeah, the poms way of saying it, them who invented English innit
