Plumberow Mount submitted by RobinMcBurnie : Plumberow Mount as it is now (October 2013). Note the fence "to prevent erosion" and the fact that it is backed by some full grown trees. The information board is still less than informative. Picture taken by me. Please feel free to copy and use for any personal or education or study related purposes. (Vote or comment on this photo)
