Hallett Cove is one of the best-known geological sites in Australia and internationally. It has been declared a Geological Monument and Heritage Site. Preserved by nature in an ancient valley for hundreds of millions of years, this fossilised landscape paints an incredible picture of Australia’s past, including an ice age at the South Pole, the rise of the Mt Lofty Ranges and the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana.
