Interesting. My feeling about geological attractions in Australia (Uluru, Olgas, Blue Mountains, etc) is that they are about half as good as they are promoted to be. For active visitors, the upcoming climbing ban for Uluru will further reduce the reason to visit. The real good stuff, geologically speaking, is in New Zealand.
