A Bit of Geology

The Natural Bridge is a granite formation that looks just like a giant rock bridge! This ‘bridge’ is caused by the gradual wearing away of the granite rock by the Great Southern Ocean. 

The natural bridge formation is a reminder of the power of the ocean. It is incredible to watch the waves roll across the ocean, crashing into the granite cliffside and rushing under the bridge.

There are 2 distinctive rock types here that resemble granite, a common rock on the south coast- granodiorite and gneiss. The former is an igneous rock that is rich in silica while the latter is a metamorphic or changed rock, and pronounced as ‘nice’.
