Coral Sea at 1770 Agnes Water, view North to Round Hill Head, 2015.

 

The Triassic Volcanic Rocks of Agnes Water.

 

The Agnes Water Volcanics are a major component of a north-north-west trending belt of Late Triassic Volcanics that extend from south-east to central Queensland.

 

Rocks defined as the Agnes Water Volcanics were first described from the excellent coastal exposures in the vicinity of Agnes Water between Round Hill Head and Wreck Rock (Stevens, 1968)...

 

As currently mapped, the Agnes Water Volcanics cover an area of about 1000 sq kms and occupy much of the Miriam Vale 1:100 000 map sheet area.
