Location: | 488809. Four kilometres south-east of Moondarra Reservoir. | |
Access: | La Trobe Valley Waterworks and Sewerage Road via Boola Road. | |
Ownership: | Crown Land. | |
Geology/Geomorphology: | Well-bedded medium to fine sandstones, siltstone, and shale of the Walhalla Group are exposed in road cuttings at this locality. The sedimentary sequence is crossed by several minor faults which have resulted in oversteepening and folding of the sandstone beds and shattering of the siltstone and shale. The sediments are highly jointed while several of the sandstone beds display well developed ripple marks. | |
Significance: | Local. Although Walhalla Group sediments are widespread, outcrop is often poor. This site provides a representative exposure of the Walhalla Group sediments. | |
Management: | Maintenance of clear faces on the road cutting would enhance the value of the site. |
