I only saw them from a distance, but these are fascinating Mo. I was told they are "blue" because of the oils in the air from the eucalyptus forests that clad them

Hi Patrick
You are right, I just Googled it... I knew it had to do with the Eucalyptus trees.The rock formations are what is left after the sandstone wears down.
