 At the recently renovated Pulpit Rock lookout in the Blue Mountains National Park near Blackheath, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has erected a plaque.  When I came upon this plaque, I approached the NPWS for a copy of the artwork to print in the Sydney Bushwalker.  I express my thanks on behalf of SBW to Stephen Alton of the NPWS Blackheath who kindly provided the artwork for publication.  The plaque is reproduced on the opposite page. At the recently renovated Pulpit Rock lookout in the Blue Mountains National Park near Blackheath, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has erected a plaque.  When I came upon this plaque, I approached the NPWS for a copy of the artwork to print in the Sydney Bushwalker.  I express my thanks on behalf of SBW to Stephen Alton of the NPWS Blackheath who kindly provided the artwork for publication.  The plaque is reproduced on the opposite page.
