Less than 5 minutes from my place.
Hanging Rock
Hanging Rock is a mamelon, created 6.25 million years ago by stiff magma pouring from a vent and congealing in place. Often thought to be a volcanic plug, it is not. Two other mamelons exist nearby, created in the same period: Camels Hump, to the south on Mount Macedon, and to the east, Crozier's Rocks. All three mamelons are made of solvsbergite, a form of trachyte only found in two or three other places in the world. As Hanging Rock's magma cooled and contracted, it split into rough columns. These weathered over time into the many pinnacles that can be seen today.

Look out of my office window to one side I can see the Finnish Parliament building
Look to the other and it's the Suomenlinna Island Fortress (UNESCO World Heritage Site, if you're into that kind of thing)<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 22, 2013 7:11 am --<br /><br />
Haha, my old window view looked like that, but with the Famous 5 stand at Easter Road in front of it
