Just a couple of pictures of the ride this afternoon

 

 

Started here

and ended up here, Just stumbled on this place following a couple of trails I haven't seen before, this is quite a large chunk of Local stone called Iron Stone

Several hundred meters in diameter, when you try to break it with a bar it just throws sparks and barely scratches

Looks like a power line easement cut the way for your first shot. Sure looks thick off that trail.
Wild looking rock man. Wonder if it got the Razorback effect when it cooled at different rates or what???
Thanks for sharing.
Greg

These rocks are thousands of years old, there really hard and it's the rain and wind that sculpts them, it's really amazing, the rocks in the Blue mountains look very

cool in these exposed places, Just nearby there is a small causeway where water has been running down for thousands of years, the corrugations are great

Is the bush thick here, you bet, you could probably force your way through it a little way, but it's sharp, scratchy and nasty, some of the leaves actually have glass coated tips, minerals sucked up by the plants and deposited on the leaf tips !

The trail is actually called North Lawson Fire trail, how you get a fire truck down there is beyond me, he bit you see is the easy bit, the rest is seriously steep, stepped and switch back and strewn with loose rocks

Oh yeah, here's the corrugated rock

I'm going back to this spot for more photo's when I get a clear afternoon, should get some nice light and shadow

only got to spend around 15 minutes there before the light went

Thanks for the interest

Steve

Thanks for sharing Steve biggrin

That iron stone is weird. Looks like it could cause some serious damage!

Great pics.

 My whole house is built on a large outcrop of ironstone, it's mostly underground luckly

my next door neighbors had there whole house electrical system and appliances, computers etc... blown out by a direct hit

they had ball lightning inside the house that came in through the A/C metal ducting, how freaky would that be doh

 

I use High quality Belkin Surge Protectors on everything, never had a problem

also I have good earth linkages driven into the ground
