But the ancient faults that cut these rocks were reactivated because the Australian plate is being squeezed between the Eurasia and the Pacific, and also interacting with India and Australia.
The squeezing popped up the Flinders ranges, and the epic Mount Lofty, and this process continues today.

The faults that push up Mt Lofty slip on average half a mm per year. And with this ongoing uplift, the Tour Down Under gets a little harder every year 😃!
