Fingal Pillows

Fingal Head on New South Wales' Tweed Coast is one of the few examples of this geological formation -- called columnar jointing -- in the world. The other, more famous, examples are the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and Fingal's Cave in Scotland. No surprise that this and the Scottish formation are both named after the same ancient Scottish hero!

Waves crash over the Giant's Causeway...but not the one in Northern Ireland! While these rocks are quite similar, they are located a world away in Fingal Head, Australia.
