Comment on Pricing

Price in the Australian site is expensive ...
because Amazon grabs a large commission !
I'll received almost nothing ... That is ok with me  :-)

In the "rest of the world" site, the price is not determined by me. And I'm sure I will also receive next to nothing when the books are sold  :-)

- Date:  2020-09-05 and 2020-10-15  Photographed during bushwalks

( A detailed trip report of the 2020-09-05 bushwalk is in this link:
http://mntviews.blogspot.com/2020/09/mercurys-boot-ben-bullen-to-baal-bone.html
In particular, the 2 pictures below are photos #32 and #33 of the link. )

After the trip, I registered the rock in BushExplorers Encyclopaedia as "Baal Sphinx Rock"
because it looks like a Sphinx.
( Refer to this link: https://www.bushexplorers.com.au/encyclopaedia/baal-sphinx-rock )


It could be worse.
I could have submitted the picture below and registered a different name  :-)
Looks like a human body part  :-)
