(a) Platforms and low cliffs formed in Cretaceous sandstones near Lorne, Australia. (b) High vertical cliffs fronted by narrow beaches characterize the rock coast of the 12 Apostles region of Victoria, Australia where Cenozoic limestones dominate the shore. (c) A stepped shore platform morphology on Lord Howe Island, Australia where more resistant basaltic dykes intrude between softer breccia units. (d) A classic washboard morphology of a shore platform in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. Harder sandstone units interbedded with softer mudstones project above the platform surface.
