Information

This picnic area is at the level of the old surface of the Buckland Volcano. Far to the north-west, look for the prominent vertical cliffs of Tyson's Nugget. This is a plug of ryholite that penetrated the basalt towards the end of the volcano's life. As you look into the valleys, you can see how erosion has worn through the basalt, re-exposing the sandstone beneath.
