The Breadknife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Breadknife is a dyke located in New South Wales, Australia. The Breadknife was part of a large shield volcano, that first erupted about 17 million years ago and stopped about 13 million years ago. This shield volcano rose about 1000 m and is now largely eroded, forming the Warrumbungles.
A network of walking tracks are used to access the steep mountains and ridges surrounding the dyke. Nearby volcanic remnants include the Belgourie Spire, Belgourie Split Rock, Cater Bluff, Bluff Mountain and Mount Exmouth. The shortest walk completely around the Breadknife is hard and steep, taking roughly 5 hours to complete.
Location: 30.05 S, 150.05 E
