Found in places like Eaglehawk Neck in Tasmania, these natural rock formations have cracked into rectangular blocks. The imperfections in the pattern allow for better drainage and reduce erosion.

As basaltic lava cools, it contracts and forms hexagonal columns. While appearing geometrically perfect, slight irregularities in these formations help dissipate stress, preventing fractures from propagating easily.
