Chambers Pillar is a sandstone formation about 160 kilometers south of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia, rising about 50 meters above the surrounding plain. The pillar is carved from sandstone roughly 350 million years old, left standing in isolation as wind and rain eroded away the softer surrounding rock over a long period. The formation and 340 hectares around it are protected as the Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve, and the pillar is recognized as a site of Aboriginal significance. This entity documents Chambers Pillar specifically as a geological formation, an isolated 350-million-year-old sandstone erosional pillar.
