Mystery Craters!

Last Saturday, Phil and I took a 20 min drive down to see the Mystery Craters located outside of Gin Gin.

According to the internet they are:
"Australia's most baffling phenomenon, believed to be at least 25 millions years old, this rock formation continues to baffle the world. Mystery Craters are a unique, fascination and interesting geological phenomenon as they are a series of craters in various sizes which have been discovered in a group on a rock formation which in itself is a puzzle".

For those who like kitchy, cheesy tourist attractions, this one is for you. It had a small enclosure with the craters which were actually pretty cool. You can see Phil standing on the tower that overlooks the pools. It's essentially a block of weird rock that a farmer found in his field and decided to make into a local attraction. The Mystery Craters also hosts a fibreglass T-Rex (which is 65 million years ago, according to their voice recording, so it has nothing to do with the craters), an exhibition of gem stones and an old shed with old farming equipment, mostly old lawnmowers. It had an old boat, slowly rotting away on the property and you could get anything from an aged tea towel to a tacky anklet in the musty gift shop. I love random museums and the like so I was totally satisfied with my Mysery Craters experience. It was wonderful and took up about 1.5 hrs of our Saturday, well worth the $5/pp entrance fee.
