The Sugarloaf

Hallett Cove is one of the best known geological sites in Australia and is known for its international significance.
The park also conserves native flora and fauna and has a beach for swimming and fishing.
The Sugarloaf - This cone-shaped structure is composed of sediments deposited in a lake formed as the ice sheet melted about 280 million years ago.
The base of the Sugarloaf is composed of reddish sand (with dropstones from melting icebergs) which is overlain by white sand.
It is capped by a thin layer of brown alluvial clay deposited a few million years ago.
