Earthquakes

Intriguing name, intriguing fossils and house-sized rocks.

Earthquakes was given its name when it was thought the house-size rocks were dislodged by earthquakes. Instead, the boulders were split away due to the land slumping many years ago.

The site has attracted many fascinated geologists over the years and makes up part of the Vanished World Trail with some fossils still visible to visitors.
