Steps at Blanche Cave, Naracoorte S.A.
Repetition can be found in human formed things and naturally formed things. Repetition can be functional and incidental. These steps made by humans in the late 1800's are at the entrance to Blanche Cave in Naracoorte S.A. Many visitors to the cave have carefully negotiated these stairs. The stairs form and function represents repetition.
Blanche Cave was discovered in 1845 and has had many human visitors since. The Southern Bentwing Bat uses the cave every year as a winter torpor spot (more repetition).

Straw Stalactites in Alexandra Caves, Naracoorte, S.A.
Stalactites are formed as countless water drops fall from the roof of a cave. As the water drop builds in size, until gravity causes it to fall, it forms a tiny mineral deposit in the shape of a ring. Over time as countless water drops form and fall, this ring grows into a straw. The formation of stalactites and stalagmites is a great example of repetition.
