The limestone at Yarrangobilly is of Late Silurian age and formed~420-425 mya in a belt that is ~14km long and 1.5km wide. The Yarrangobilly karst contains an outstanding collection of features, including gorges, arches, blind valleys, springs, pinnacle fields and over 250 caves. Six of its caves have been developed and are open for public viewing. A well loved feature of Yarrangobilly is the Thermal Pool. Water seeps through porous rock to a depth of ~760m where it is heated and then forced up through cracks to cracks to emerge as a warm spring. The spring discharges at ~100000 liters per hour at 27 ℃.
在4.2-4.25亿年前的晚志留世时代，在亚仁勾比利形成了长约14km、宽1.5km的石灰岩带，也就是现在的亚仁勾比利岩洞的石灰岩。亚仁勾比利的喀斯特地貌特征明显，种类丰富，包括山峡、拱山、盲谷、喷泉、尖峰和250多个洞穴。其中六个洞穴已经开发，并开放供公众观赏。亚仁勾比利最受欢迎的特色景点是热池，地下水通过多孔岩石渗透至约760m深处，之后受热从缝隙之中挤压喷发而出，形成温暖的泉水。泉水每小时可喷发出约100,000升的27摄氏度水流。
