MtFoxCrater.jpg

A shot of the Mt Fox Crater (801m or 2628ft). A violent, volcanic explosion created Mount Fox about 100,000 years ago. A lava flow 10 metres thick spewed from the southern end of the crater and chunks of molten magma were thrown out of the volcano's vent. Girringun National Park, Far North Queensland, Australia. I took this shot from a mustering helicopter.

It was nice to have this picture used on the cover of Protected (see below). Protected is the National Parks Association of Queensland's magazine. Established in 1930, the National Parks Association of Queensland has played a pivotal role in the creation of most of the National Parks in Queensland. At least 70% of all national parks in Queensland were either gazetted or extended following recommendations made to the State Government by NPAQ.
