BALANCING ROCK Photo

Photographer’s Note

After Stanthorpe, the next place of interest was Balancing Rock.

Balancing Rock, a gigantic boulder of granite resting on a 300 millimetre point amongst other rock formations, is located 12km south of Glen Innes on the New England Highway. The rock is about 150m from the highway on private property, so it can only be viewed from the the rest area marked with the sign "Balancing Rock".

The inset shows part of another photo I made - a zoomed in version, using my Sigma 70-300 Macro lens.

Hi Claudia

Well captured and presented.
The colour and light is perfect.
I have travelled this road many times and seeing your photos brings back great memories.
Used to be able to buy great meat pies in Glen Innes.
Thanks for sharing
Regards
Peter

Hi Claudia. You know I took a picture of Balanced Rock in Utah a long time ago. I'm surprised somebody who has imbibed too much Foster's and hasn't knocked that thing over! :) I guess being on private property helps keep out the riff-raff. That's a nice touch with the inset shot. Nice one Claudia.
