Mount Scoria Conservation Park is a park near Thangool, Queensland in Central Queensland, Australia, about south-east of Biloela.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mount Scoria Conservation Park )〕 It is within the traditional lands of the Gangulu aboriginal people. It features Mount Scoria, a mountain whose peak is about above the surrounding plains. The mountain was once an active volcano, approximately 20 to 26 million years ago. It features unusual and impressive basalt columns, the same type which make up the Giant's Causeway, Ireland. As the volcano's lava cooled, it formed distinct columns or pillars with five to eight sides, called columnar basalt. When hit on the tops with a hammer, the columns make mucical notes of varying pitch. Activities conducted in the park include animal and birdwatching as well as bushwalking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mount Scoria Conservation Park )〕 ==See also== * Protected areas of Queensland * List of places with columnar basalt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Scoria Conservation Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
