Many striking examples of simulacra - faces and forms in nature - have lobbed into this column's inbox over the years. Not surprisingly, given it covers such a large proportion (46 per cent) of the ACT, many are hidden away in the vast realms of Namadgi National Park.
Of these, for wow factor it's hard to beat the giant guardian in a cliff near Bendora Dam. However, while on a recent adventure into the heart of Namadgi, intrepid explorer Trevor Rix may have found a sight that tops Bendora's rocky face.
Not that he was even aware of the ghostly image staring back at him from an ice pool on an unnamed (at least officially) 1725-metre peak perched on the ACT border until he'd returned home. "I didn't even notice it until I was flicking through photos from the trip," he admits.
