Hallett Cove: geologists' delight



An Adelaide sightseeing site that I'd only heard about recently is Hallett Cove, 20km or so down the coast. At the Hallett Cove Conservation Park you get to see several hundred million years of geological history laid out before you, and all nicely explained. I'm not a geologist, but I'm happy to learn, and enjoyed the visit. The best known feature, the Sugarloaf, looks like a funny little volcano. It isn't. Here's a bit of better informed commentary: Geology info















You can get there by train either via Hallett Cove station or Hallett Cove Beach station. What else do visitors do around there? You could take inspiration from the mural at Hallett Cove Beach.
