Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

I don't want to state the obvious, but,

Is it the big rock with the plaque on it, that is a considerable distance south of Marble Bar? :roll:

Yes, Jon,
You are correct as far as you go, but no cigar... yet
Cigar will be awarded if you can tell me precisely where it is, and why it is a Notable Rock! 😀

HINT: Ask yourself why two flat surfaces have been obviously created on the rock, and if the presence of the cross may be related to them.

Is it the stone made for use by Father Hawes at Mullewa for the indigenous church attendees who would not enter the actual church.

(And it's not mentioned on any of the tourist guides I could find... not even the official Monsignor Hawes Heritage Trail guide!)
Well done Macca.

Kay, Is that 'Summer of the Seventeenth Doll'.
If my memory is working correctly we had to read the book for year 10 or 11 English in high school.
