A large outcrop of hexagonal basalt columns formed 135 million years ago by volcanic lava flow from the Darling Scarp to Black Point in the D'Entrecasteaux National Park.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Black Point owes its unique appearance to the lava which flowed from the Darling Scarp and slowly cooled at the ocean. In the cooling process the lava cracked and shrunk, and close packed, hexagonal columns were formed perpendicular to the surface.
