Rock Walls

I'll start with last weekend and go forward. Blogs want you to go backward, but who's the boss, here?
We went to an a'capella concert at Trephina Gorge last Sunday. It was my mom's birthday and I was too sad in the morning to go to church, so a choir concert in a gorge seemed a good substitute. God was there, too. The high rock walls make a natural sound shell and 50 voices rolled across the sand.
The group was "Asante Sana." If you've ever seen Lion King, you've heard similar music. We video taped it for Tom's mom. It's the kind of thing that would leave her speachless. No comments about speachless mothers-in-law.
Trephina Gorge is about an hour from town and the drive is mostly one-lane. I don't mean one lane going each way, I mean ONE lane. If someone happens to be coming the other way, you both make room. There were cattle along the road and signs telling you to watch for them as there is no fence.
On the drive back, I saw a sign for Corroboree Rock. Not having seen enough rocks yet, (and this one had its own sign!), I turned off.
Like most geological formations around here, it is a sacred site. Like most geological formations around here, you can understand why.
The huge rock bears no similarity to the smaller rocks around it. It simply jutts out of the ground, tall and broad and very thin. The top photo is the "face"and the bottom, the side. You can walk around it in about 10 minutes while swatting flies off your face. We're told "Fly season" hasn't started yet.
It was getting dark, so we made for home. Decided to pick up dinner at the Red Rooster in Alice which is across from the McDonald's. It is the Boston Market of Australia. The roasted chicken comes with roasted potatoes, pumpkin, peas and garlic bread. It was pretty good and when I thought we had it all eaten, I found the chicken was stuffed - grey but tasty.
