Information given on LonelyPlanet says the orange color is due to "the sediment deposited by the warm sulfuric waters."
I'm asexual, and yet, that sounds very sexual to me-- must be the indoctrination from modern advertising exerting it's control over my mind.
Yeah those darn advertisements are always trying to persuade me with their sensual sediment deposits and shapely rock formations.

It astounds me that nothing but weather and time split this huge boulder in two (well, three) at Wilsons Promontory.
I'm getting very excited now.
Next thing you know I'll be posting my whole rock collection and boring you all to tears.
Wherever I go I photograph rocks.

Rock filigree.
it reminds me of some of the 3D printed cell structure things. It almost looks like it was once soft and molded into that form.

It fascinates me (and yet makes perfect sense) how they can naturally form in geometric shapes (such as with Pyrite).
