The Sugerloaf, Hallett Cove

Approximately 280 million years ago the ice that had once covered the area of Hallett Cove Conservation Park began to melt causing a lake to form in that area. During this time many sediments were deposited into the lake which after many years turned to rock. This rock is the beautiful, unusual shaped rock we see today that is known to some as the main feature of the park named the Sugarloaf. The base of the Sugarloaf has drop stones from the melting icebergs. The shape of the Sugarloaf is a cone shape because of the weathering and erosion that has occurred over its lifetime. The sediments that the Sugarloaf is made up of are softer sediments therefore they erode and weather much easier and quicker than tough sediments
