Gwalia and The Terraces

We woke at the crack of dawn to climb up the hill and also hello to another 8 of our sculpture friends spanning 2.5 km between them. The dawn colours were amazing and viewing the sculptures at this time was quite different to the evening.
Gwalia is an old mining town where Herbert Hoover was the mining engineer and manager of the Sons of Gwalia Mining Company. He designed and commissioned the building of Hoover House for his living quarters in 1936. It is now a restored ghost town by the Historical Society of Gwalia after the closure of the mine saw to the population walk out of the town leaving everything behind.
The Terraces is a stretch of rock formation where the erosions have left a range of breakaways, that is caves, and beautiful rock formations. We are the only ones camped here. We are here for 2 nights. The drive in was long and not advisable after rains.もっと詳しく
