a picture at hanging rock (the extinct volcano remains) of what the grounds looks like





hanging rock, an extinct volcano not too far from home base.

my poor attempt to cut a stranger out of the picture, and i didn't ask dave to fix it.




lots of views from the  top of the summit at the hanging rock remains







the save the rock part is because some are wanting to make it an overnight tourist attraction and build up hotels around the location which is currently a park.
