North Eastern NSW

With Queensland behind us, we started our exploration of Eastern NSW. We were greeted by a giant prawn (shrimp).

We headed inland a bit to visit some friends of Jen's family. After a pleasant visit with them, we went to take a look at Sawn Rocks. These basalt columns formed as magma intrusions underground cooled very slowly.  The result is amazingly regular 5-sided columns.

(Jen Note: It kind of makes you feel like you are walking through the ruins of an old civilization instead of a rock slide.)

To break up the drive back towards the coast, we stopped at Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve to stretch our legs and seem some rock art.
