Column stone is a type of volcanic rock that forms when lava cools and cracks into distinctive and polygonal columns

# data[].attributes.body
speleothems are form through deposition of calcium carbonate and other minerals, which is precipitated from mineralized water solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
when mineral rich water flows from the cracks in the ceiling it forms stalatites

# data[].attributes.body
Column caves, also known as pillars or stalagnates, are formed when stalactites and stalagmites, two types of cave formations, grow together and fuse. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, while stalagmites grow up from the cave floor. The dripping water that forms these formations deposits minerals like calcite, and when the stalactite and stalagmite meet, they create a continuous column that can span from the ceiling to the floor

The Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park in Western Australia is home to a magnificent cave system with over 150 limestone caves. The caves are a defining feature of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, a long strip of limestone that runs parallel to the coast.

Column caves form when stalactites and stalagmites grow together and merge into one structure from the floor to the ceiling.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalactites and stalagmites are connected

Flow stones are formed by waterfalls, that flow down walls or floors of caves, and deposit calcium carbonate and other minerals. These build up over time and form long formations that look like waterfalls.

# data[].attributes.body
Check weather and pack accordingly. Discuss with teacher and groups about what equipment to pack and what items of food to bring. Plan waste management and other situations that may occur.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the major issues that impacts the Leeuwin-Naturaliste national park, is the influx of tourism the region has been experiencing since the 1960's. This excessive tourism leads to accelerated erosion of caves and the coastline, as well as damaging the environment, leaving rubbish and waste, and injuring native flora and fauna with vehicles. The region also suffers from under funding and under staffing of rangers.
