The Booberoi Fault at Wyrra State Forest.Following is the information I was given to explain what I was going to see.
"The outcrop is part of the Booberoi Fault and features sheared Late Silurian-Early Devonian Edols Conglomerate (Sherwin, 1996) showing stretched quartzite and vein-quartz pebbles in a quartz white mica-chlorite matrix, which was probably a muddy sandstone. Mesoscopic kinematic indicators show at least two movement episodes: a horizontal sinstral movement and a near vertical reverse (west side up) movement. The movement direction can be discerned from the asymmetry of the matrix surrounding the pebbles and the mineral elongation within the matrix."

An interesting bit of trivia about this location is that the San Andreas Fault runs across this photo from left to right (or vice versa) between my car and the lights at the intersection up ahead.
