Golden light on Kew-Y-Ahn tor
Beautiful golden winter sun, as the storm clouds gathered.
The imposing Kew-Y-Ahn granite tor overlooks the historical village of Hartley in the Central Tablelands here in New South Wales. This curious name was first recorded by Surveyor Liddell in 1877, but the original meaning is not known. It was also known as Bell's Rock to the European settlers.
From the tor one can enjoy a unique view of the village, be able to see Mount Blaxland and contemplate on 40,000 years of human endeavour in the Hartley Valley.
It is believed that these rocks are of significance for the local First Nation peoples of the Gundungurra tribe. The site is thought to have been a meeting place and to have spiritual significance.
