They are basaltic volcanoes that erupted between 17,600,000 and 20,800,000 years ago,[1] with survey data that indicates they rise about Шаблон:Convert above the local sea floor to a minimum depth of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The sediments deposited on top of the alkali olivine basalt[1] originate from the early Middle Miocene when the ocean water was tropical to subtropical.[3] They were described as seamounts in 1961.[4]

The waters above it are incorporated in the Central Eastern Marine Park, an Australian marine park.[5]
