A great trip for part of a day is Organ Pipes Park just outside of Sunbury. Be sure to wear good walking / hiking shoes and dress for the weather. Take lots of water. It is not a long hike but getting in and out is very steep.I am told that platypus live in the stream but there is no viewing area so you would be very lucky indeed to spot one.
The three major rock formations in the park are the result of volcanic activity. An ancient eruption filled the stream
bed with lava. When the modern stream eroded the rock over time it revealed some very unique formations. They are Organ Pipes, Roseate Stone and Tessellated Pavement. The image above right is Tessellated Pavement. Below left is Organ Pipes and Below Right is Roseate Stone.
