Lond Bridge is a natural rock formation that has been neatly carved by the Queanbeyan River. Accessed by the south entrance to Googong Foreshores, this is an exceptional rock formation.
BE CARFUL, the cache is 2-3 metres from the cliff edge, please be mindful of the younglings. Access to Googong is restricted to daylight hours.
The views are fantastic.
Only 800 metres from the car park.
The limestone of London Bridge Arch began to form when sediment and coral remains were deposited on an ocean floor 420 million years ago. It was then subjected to intense pressure. Over time the ocean receded and erosion shaped the landscape. The arch was formed by water slowly leaching through the limestone, enlarging cracks until a passage became big enough for Burra Creek to pass through. It reached its present size about 20,000 years ago.
The arch was first recorded by Europeans in 1823 when explorer Captain Mark Currie was directed to the arch by an Aboriginal guide. Currie described it as ‘a natural bridge of one perfect Saxon arch, under which the water passed.’
HELP! For those who say this is too close to other cache, I need your help as I can not get any other caches in this location to display through geocache.com. My screen shot is at:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6873500/IMG_0232.jpg
