This is a better day for taking photographs and for a hike. This is the view of Mt Kembla from one point of Mt Keira. I hope the you guys like the view. I know it isn't the clearest but It was taken on my Nokia N70 Mobile. This is the second of five of Mt Kembla. I would love to hear your comments. Once I get my camera Im going to go back and take them again. This place I have taken the photograph from is Mt Keira. Mt Kembla Location: Wollongong State: New South Wales Country: Australia Cordinates: 34°25′S 150°49′E Elevation: 534 metres Area of Town: 1.6 sq. Km Population of Town: 934 Post Code: 2526 Mt Kembla is a coal mining town which had a major explosion back in 1902 and the min was closed down. The mine has recently re-opened in 2001. Kembla is an aboriginal word meaning "wild game abundant" or "plenty of game". The aborigines called the area "jum-bullah" or "Djembla" which means a wallaby. Mount Kembla has been described as a "sub-tropical belt of rainforest " which "housed a variety of game life which provided an abundant food supply". I hope the little history lesson wasn't to boring for you. I will give some more with the other three images. Thanks Jason
