Locality: | 7221-585665 to 678700. South-west of Narrawong East. |
Access: | Orchards Road off Princes Highway. |
Geology/Geomorphology:
| The southern side of the Mount Clay volcano is clearly defined by a bluff approximately 60 m high. The bluff is considered to be derived from faulting or warping of the underlying Tertiary sediments. A slope foot terrace is prominent at the base of the bluff. |
Significance: | Regional. The bluff is a clear example of the processes of faulting and marine cliffing. |
Management: | Because of the area covered by the site, the value of the significant geomorphological features is unlikely to be reduced by localised land disturbance, e.g. quarrying or road works. |
