The last post wasn't quite the last post! Travelling between Bell Gorge and the port of Derby we saw a remarkable geomorphological feature. It was called Queen Victoria's Head and the picture below is very much like her image I've seen elsewhere - just quite where I can't recall, but my readers might let me know where the real image resides.
Good image, eh! I had instant recognition as we sped along the Gibb River Road.
But, as we drew alongside, the image deteriorated markedly! Does this look like Victoria to you? Sadly, no. But one must give credit to the region's pioneering European settlers for perceiving the stunning likeness in the first photo above. I wonder if she ever got to hear of her name being used to designate a lump of dark rock!
