Tourist Traps: Mystery Craters in Queensland
July 30, 2007 at 11:15 AM | 0 Comments
Australia's Queensland province is home to more than fake beaches and angry koalas. The region also attracts tourists to the Mystery Craters, located about 17 miles from Bundaberg on the Gin Gin Highway. Why do people flock to check out a few holes in the ground? We have no clue. What the heck are they? Here's one explanation:
Some experts think the craters are part of a large meteorite while Australian geologists say the area is the roof [of] a subterranean lake that was caused by oil pressure underground, or that it was once the edge of the ocean and is the result of sea action. (The nearest beach is 24 km away)...It is probably impossible to deduce the exact manner of formation. One thing is certain, they are at least 25 million years old.
We are hoping this video, complete with audio, saves you the trouble of hitting up these holes in the ground.
