Two granite inselbergs known as Yarwondutta Rocks have been defined by a plane-table survey. Because of the desirability of preserving geomorphic features on the larger rock, an additional shallow-penetrating seismic survey was carried out on the smaller rock to determine its subsurface configuration. The smaller rock is calculated to have up to 350,000 cu. yds of granite within the 15 ft overburden isopach. The rock appears similar physically to that from Tcharkuldu Hill, which is considered satisfactory for use as rail trackway ballast.
