Elephant Rocks



Easter Sunday 12th April: While Steve showered the boys the Easter Bunny created and set up a tricky egg hunt around the campsite which got them thinking and running around for a while. We drove towards Duntroon but visited Elephant Rocks for a couple of hours on the way. This is a huge paddock filled with large limestone stacks, and was the location where the final battle in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was filmed. Currently it is being developed as a filmset for "Kingdom Come", a film about the life of Jesus, and they are constructing a set of small houses.
From there we drove through Duntroon, on through Kurow and up to our usual spot alongside Lake Aviemore. It was warm and sunny and we went out for a short sail before tea. After dark Steve went fishing and caught 2 good size trout.
Two photos are from Elephant Rocks and the third is of the new filmset being built. In the last photo, to give you an idea of scale, the little figure near the centre is Jonathan.
