:-(

We have a stone circle in the back garden........ not as impressive as Stonehenge, but I like it! Poor OH had to lug great big rocks around to make me happy..... isn't he wonderful :-D

Next time you're in my neighbourhood, and it's full moon, bring your robe and we'll have a dance lol

Enjoy your holiday :-D

Even if it's meant to be 1950BC, ie when new(ish, it's eerily 'perfect. '
You'd have thought the odd stonemason could have got their hands on the stones, instead of a modern machine :-|

It's supposed to be, Scozz.

From what I remember of the original, it occupies a much larger site than the Oz collection of stones (which may be painted polystyrene :-D :-D)

Looks a bit peculiar, too perfect.

Is it lined up to see the rising sun etc etc ?

I don't think I'll be flying across the country to see it.

:-D

As some of you will be aware, OH and myself are currently enjoying a few days in Esperance on the South coast of Western Australia.

Apart from the really magnificent coastline, one of the strangest things we have seen is a replica of Stonehenge.

The even stranger part is that ie is constructed close to a main road, which is littered with a plethora of No Stopping and No Parking signs on the road on either side of the structure. These are official signs to prevent people taking photos from their cars.

Additionally, the operators of the site have constructed a wooden fence running along the site at a height of about 1,8 - 2.00metres high (6' - 8')

Entry is $10.00.

Even stranger, then is their website:

http://www.esperancestonehenge.com.au/

Why go to all that trouble and then post a perfect picture for all to see :-S :-S
