The Acropolis
About 30 hours before this shot was taken this summit was enveloped in a blizzard, the ice and snow making any attempt at a trip to it’s peak a distinctly life threatening affair (see the shot below, its the peak on the right). The Acroplis is in the Du Cane Range, Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania.

Spent half of July in Tasmania – yep, you guessed it – admiring the dolerite sills – but I didn’t get to this spot – however, a much longer trip is planned…
Travis Easton
You’d be in Dolerite heaven up here Greg. Involved walk in though.
