Three of the most visited landmarks in Australia. A volcanic rock formation in Victoria that six million years of geology cannot fully explain, whose most famous story was never confirmed as fiction by the woman who wrote it, and whose final chapter may not have been written by her at all. A set of ancient balancing boulders in the Northern Territory made from rock found in only two or three other places on Earth, so sacred that a single boulder was removed to mark a grave in nineteen fifty-two and took forty-seven years of negotiation to return. And a mountain in Tasmania sitting above a cave that confirmed the people living there were the most southerly humans on Earth during the last ice age, in a place that UNESCO declared culturally extinct until April twenty twenty-three. Most people who visit these three landmarks leave knowing the postcard version. This video covers what the postcard leaves out.
