Pink Cliffs : Assorted lollies . . .
The colourful phenomenon was created by early gold-mining activities: sluicing work in the 1880s revealed the 'pink' hills near the historic town of Heathcote.
The Pink Cliffs Reserve is about 140km from Melbourne CBD. It was originally man made but is now considered one of Victoria's natural wonders. The multi-coloured soft granite exposed as a moonscape surface in the central portion of the reserve is the best known feature hence its name, Pink Cliffs.
These big, interesting looking boulders are located at the entrance to the Reserve. Some are dark like chocolate and some are lighter in colour. Lichen growth on them adds further interesting texture.
