• The Keia district contains at least two ancient burial caves, Kauvava and Piri Te Umeume, which were accessed by diagonal descents through boulder-strewn roof collapses from the top of the makatea, the limestone cliffs that form a concentric ring around the central basalt core of the island (Anton and Steadman 2003:133, 136).
• Luna 10 conducted extensive research in lunar orbit, gathering important data on the strength of the Moon's magnetic field, its radiation belts, and the nature of lunar rocks (which were found to be comparable to terrestrial basalt rocks), cosmic radiation, and micrometeoroid density.
• An additional threatened ecosystem located within the national park is a sclerophyll woodland dominated by Eucalyptus leptophleba, Corymbia tessellaris and Corymbia clarksoniana which has developed upon soils formed from basalt flows.
