More 'Haystacks'

A group of large freestanding rocks on a hilltop. Long ago, it seems a visitor by the name of Murphy saw them from a distance and was quite convinced he could see haystacks. And that was how they gained their name ' "Murphy's Haystacks". In geological terms, they are known as "inselbergs".

Explored.
