Visit Notes

Sunday, 1st April 2007

What a whopper! The basin in this stone is massive; at least 40cm across. It is relatively shallow, just 10-15cm or so. It's actually difficult to be sure as the stone is in the middle of the river.

The boulder that the basin is cut in seems to have been tipped over, possibly by the large stone that stands behind it being washed down the river after a storm. This means that the bullaun is in a now vertical face and looks really odd.
