Bombo Headland Quarry Geological Site, Nature reserve and geological site in Kiama, Australia
The coastal headland features exposed basalt columns and latite formations, with isolated pillars reaching heights between 5 to 10 meters along the shoreline.
The site operated as a mining quarry during the 1880s and early 1900s, contributing materials for the development of the Municipality of Kiama.
The New South Wales State Heritage Register added this geological formation in 1999, recognizing its importance for research and educational purposes.
Located along Princes Highway, this geological site remains open all hours but requires careful navigation due to uneven terrain and coastal conditions.
The Bombo Latite Member contains rock fragments from 80 kilometers below Earth's surface, providing evidence of the Late Permian Gerringong volcanic period.
