We really enjoyed visiting Richmond, Stuart—glad you are liking it too. Tragically, I didn’t bring a moon rock home, I’ll have to visit again!

Gorgeous photos.I especially like the rocks that were stacked together. Never thought of such a place in Queensland. Thanks for the post.

@The Budget Wanderers – Thank you!! It’s certainly an unusual spot for a World Championship!!! And if you like rock stacks, there’s plenty more where they came from …

@Jayne – I guess if you want to look thin, hang around fat things, right? Can’t get any bigger than those moonrocks …
@Carol – They’re very like thunder eggs – apart from the size and what you get in the middle …
@darlin – 4 1/2 months, huh? That’s more than some Aussies spend touring!! But this way you’ll come back, right?!
@Andrew – Hahaha! I KNEW there was something fishy going on …
@Beach Bum – it’s a thrill to watch them being cut open – you never know what you’ll find inside!
@Nadege – Thank you! I LOVE finding these weird things …
@Filip – they make up a kind of natural art, don’t they?!
