Mount Oxley (New South Wales) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mount Oxley (New South Wales)
Mount Oxley (Aboriginal: ''Oombi Oombi''〔) is a hill situated from Bourke in the Far West region of New South Wales in outback Australia. The hill appears as a mesa-like inselberg, rising above the Western Plains. It is a small relic of a formerly large sedimentary rock formation, mostly now eroded away. The underlying and surrounding rocks are sedimentary sandstone and metamorphic quartzite.〔 The first European to visit the mountain was Charles Sturt in December 1828.〔Mount Oxley – The History & The Mystery (Brochure 2005)〕 He mentioned "a report as of a gun discharge" near Mount Oxley. He surmised "it might be some gaseous explosion". ==Etymology== Named after the explorer John Oxley, the mountain is known as ''Oombi Oombi'' to the Indigenous Australians. Archaeological evidence suggested that they quarried the area for grinding stones. Stones from Mount Oxley were highly regarded and expensive, and reportedly managed by indigenous elders.
