Being the world's oldest continent our mountains have all worn down over time. You can actually walk/stroll to the top of our highest mountain.

We have watched it develop over the years into a great rail trail. I have an old photo, before they built the new Sandy Creek Bridge, of my bike in front of the old pylons. I wrote up the trail in December last year.
