The ridge is an erosion‑residual formed from metamorphosed Yarralumla Formation sediments, overlying a deep‑weathered granite intrusion known as Federal Golf Course Tonalite. The area is characterised by red terra rossa soils and crystalline minerals such as plagioclase, hornblende, biotite and quartz.
