Eroded layers of iron oxide form interesting patterns at the Painted Cliffs on Maria Island National Park in the East coast of Tasmania. The layers are believed to originate from dolerite Jurassic-aged peaks now known as Bishop and Clerk. During erosion, its iron-containing material flowed with the current of a meandering river and precipitated in the bedding at this site.
