[QUOTE="user 14190, post: 650076, member: 14190"] There is a Quarry at Tomerong that has been closed due to doing naughty things. When it was operational it sold that type of "rock", it is locally called mud stone when the area was all under sea water, we have some on our driveway and I have noticed shells and other marine items in bits that seem to show up from time to time. It is a soft sort of rock that breaks down to a dust with traffic, but seems to rather hard to dig into after a few years of use on the driveway. The local council has used at as a road base for many years and also used as a surface on dirt roads (not many left now). When I was working in Nowra at a High school we had a few deliveries of this and it was spread around the playground and after a few months had set like bitumen. When we had our bore dug it was located about 5 meters from the surface and continued down until they stopped at about 20 meters deep. I think most of the rocks at Huskisson beach area are this type of rock. [/QUOTE]
