The Alum Cliffs are made of Permian mudstone, containing pyrite. Once oxidised, the pyrite produces the chemical compound alum. Recreation
The Alum Cliffs track is a popular  (2.5 hour) return walking track frequented by locals and tourists. A small track was initially developed in the 1970s and formally developed as part of Australia's Bicentennial celebrations in 1988. In 2018, a council proposal was put forward to upgrade the track to facilitate mountain biking. Access
