They were erected in 1988 to commemorate the Celtic settlers to the area. There are over 30 standing stones, all significantly positioned and representative of different things.
While they are not quite as moving as Stonehenge, the surrounding bush is beautiful and they were fun to play hide and seek around!
Head on over to Hey Harriet for more Shadow Shots.Happy Sunday!

These are interesting! I'd want to climb them them & sit on top. Did you do that? You discovered some fun things during your week away. I'm now wanting to explore more 'country' Australia. I usually only visit the cities. Have a great Sunday Ali :)
This is why I love blogging. I find all this so interesting! Thank you for sharing this with us Ali! Wonderful shadow shots! And I loved reading about your family holiday also! Happy Sunday/Monday to you! :)
SOO interesting! oh, I would like to be sitting on top of them too! I've never heard of these things before!
Love the story behind your stone shadows!
And the shadows themselves are fascinating!
How very cool! It is so fun learning about things from everyone! I bet kids love running around those big slabs!!
Enjoy your SSS!

Wonderful SS's Ali..they are quite beautiful..I would love them in my garden! It looks like they have been cut from different stone too...very interesting! :D
Very interesting shadow shots of the standing stones. I regret not reading this post before sending my last email to you about my embarrassing discomfort with using certain words and flash backs of Austin Powers. You probably know what I'm talking about because I'm sure you'll read my email before reading my comment here. You can just put it down to another one of my unspectacular quirks :-)
I love these shots - especially the last one, the way the tree branches are casting their shadows on the rock. Sounds like you had a fantastic week. I'm very envious!!
My favorite thing about SSS is getting to see the world. Thanks for sharing! I love the one with the shadows of tree branches across the stone. Have a good week.
These are great they must be wonderful irl and great hiding places!!
Great pics from your family holiday also, while i have never been to Dorrigo i used to have a boyfriend a long, long, long time ago who moved there and took up a jackeroo position!! Have a great week.
