Title: Pinnacle lookout again
Post by: Aussie Keith on March 09, 2014, 22:12:58: This time with Canadian friends. On this day however the weather had closed in on the mountain top.

At the pinnacle. That's a 1000m drop on the outside of the orange stuff.

The only one I know is near Orange, but that flora doesn't look right.

This is on the border ranges near Nimbin.
