I am not that good at this type of thing so will have to rely on my personal experience associated with Oz history.

What is the Oz geological feature that has world recognition, whose name is based on an aboriginal word that reflects the nature of some aspects of its structure?

From Wikipedia,
A Western Arrernte story attributes its origins to a cosmic impact: in the Dreaming, a group of celestial women were dancing as stars in the Milky Way. One of the women grew tired and placed her baby in a wooden basket. As the women continued dancing, the basket fell and plunged into the earth. The baby fell to the earth and forced the rocks upward, forming the circular mountain range. The baby's parents, the evening and morning star, continue to search for their baby to this day. The turna can be seen in the sky as the constellation Corona Australis[6][8][9]
