Introduction to the Nullarbor Plain
The formation of the limestone that composes the plain began about 48 million years ago, when the shallow Eucla Basin began to fill with calcium carbonate sediments and abundant fossils. Thirteen million years ago the sea retreated, the vast, level old sea bed was uplifted to form the Bunda Cliffs, and chemical weathering by rainwater began to form the huge underground caverns and cave systems. Surface vegetation developed in the form of shrubland, with heath and coastal mallee near the cliffs, and saltbush and spinifex inland. The true treeless plain is crossed by the Trans Australian Railway north of the Eyre Highway, where bluebush and saltbush dominate the landscape.
