There's a great example of this in Tasmania, Australia, near Port Arthur. Don't forget The Giant's Causeway in Ireland. As a geologist I love these formations.

Remember??? And we had to make it through the poison gas first and all the little birdies had died and we had to learn to play that stupid song on the piano before the aliens would let them out... (And Shandooga, i love you, that was brilliant - i have to go to church now). Hey Seb,
