Some photos of my trip to Arthur's Seat, Mornington, Victoria

@Pinky @hollydolly @Warrigal
Arthurs Seat in Victoria, Australia, was named in 1802 by Acting Lieutenant John Murray of the Lady Nelson.
He named it after the famous hill of the same name in Edinburgh, Scotland, because the Victorian peak bore a striking resemblance to the Scottish landmark.
Very hazy so photos not as sharp.
