Drummond Range Lookout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attractions in Alpha include the amazing Drummond Range<\/a><\/strong>, and the story of how it was formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm roars on as rain lashes the region and wind bends the trees in incredible arcs. Rivers and lakes swell from their comfortable grooves through the rainforest as mud oozes over the landscape, trapping flora and fauna in the moment. Welcome to Alpha 200 million years ago. Beware of mudslides – or you might become fossilized too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone Age in the Drummond Range<\/strong>
Alpha<\/a><\/strong> and the surrounding region offer evidence of an incredible geo journey. As you hold a piece of fossilized wood, or admire the Drummond Range, you are connected to an ancient story. Violent volcanoes, dramatic shifts in the earth\u2019s crust and years of harsh environmental changes have drastically transformed this landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

265- 235 million years ago the Drummond Range formed when crustal compression occurred, folding the sediments and uplifting the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
