Geological heritage sites, including sites of geomorphological interest and volcanic heritage sites, are under regular revision by the Geological Society of Australia, especially in the assessment of significance and values. Reference should be made to the most recent reports. See the Earth Science Heritage section of the Geological Society of Australia website for details of geological heritage reports, and a bibliography.


Location:
856476. 38 kilometres north-east of Benambra.

Mt Gibbo

Abstract:
Exposures of Ordovician sediments.

Access:
Tom Groggin Track

Ownership:
Crown Land.

Geology/Geomorphology:
Extensive exposures of Ordovician sediments occur on the steep north facing slopes of the Mount Gibbo ridge. The ridge provides a marked change in aspect, which has produced distinctive vegetation differences between the northern and southern slopes.

Significance:
Local. Extensive outcrops of Ordovician sediments are relatively uncommon.

Management:
Because of the area covered by the site, the value of the significant geological features is unlikely to be seriously reduced by localised disturbance.
