Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th November 2001

This stone looks quite ordinary on the approach up the driveway and this does not change until you pass it. From the 'front' it just looks like a big square stone, but from the 'side' it is wedge shaped, like a piece of cheese with the broad part at the base. There is also a quartzite band running through it.

Quite a beauty.
