I found some (relatively) old pics of Arapiles in the State Library Catalogue from around 1900. I am not posting the actual pics here because they are are owned by the State Library, however you can simply check em out for yourself with the links below. There are a lot more pics on file especially from the mid 1950's of Horsham, Mitre Rock, Natimuk, Buffalo etc. 1. Anyone know where this is?: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/a/1/3/doc/a13740.shtml I was thinking it might be the entrance to King Rat Gully with Lizard Procrastination Pinacle in front. 2. And this one may be up behind fang buttress: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/a/1/3/doc/a13634.shtml 3. Organ Pipes: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/a/1/3/doc/a13635.shtml 4.
