In December 2000 my family went on a holiday to Melbourne. As part of our holiday we had day trip to Hanging Rock. I hadn't been there before so it was an interesting experience.

The Rock is riddled with crevices. What is that man doing down there?
The kids having a rest
Massive boulders and rubble
Near the formation called The Saddle

Vicki just below the summit
Bizarre cracks, crevices and rock overhangs
Dang! Where have the kids gone now?
Many of the rocks are jagged and grotesque

This photo was taken from the highest point I could climb to
It’s easy to image the rock as molten lava
