And here's a panorama (this image is a clickable thumbnail to a larger view). Panorama doesn't overlap properly so there's a bit of ghosting, but you'll get the idea.

Hi, I just came upon this topic and thought i would reply with an image of my own as when i was on Field West i was lucky enough to have a Wedge Tailed Eagle circle around me for a good 5 mins or so, even circling within 10 metres. it certainly brought on mixed emotions

Not the Upper Florentine, but the same destruction.

Went for a walk through the protesters' site when I was down there in 2009. Here's a couple of pics of what we might be missing.
Also included is a pic taken out the back of Tahune where tourists don't normally venture showing what we have already lost.
Cheers all.
