Itinerary description

Two close together walks (1) to the upheaval crater and (2) the whale. The whale is a large sandstone ridge at the edge of the upheaval crater. The upheaval created is an area where the rocks are steeply dipping and in a circular pattern, it is either the deep remains of a meteorite crater or a salt diaper.
