The magnificent Sawn Rocks are one of Australia’s best examples of a rock formation called ‘organ-piping’ – because they look like a wall of giant organ pipes. They are a fascinating reminder of Mount Kaputar’s volcanic past. This photo was lifted from the Mt Kaputar guide!

Kapatur Pink Slug! (Triboniophorus aff. graeffei) - not our photo I have to say!
Unfortunately because of the long dry spell we did not see them despite visiting the mossy area where the slug can be seen.
‘The morning after a good rain you can sometimes see hundreds of them making their way back down a tree after a night foraging for lichen and moss, says ranger Michael Murphy.
These Kaputar pink slugs , related to red triangle slugs, are among a group of species marooned 1500m, up on an extinct volcano near Narrabri.
The huge size is a family trait says Michael, but he also puts it down to abundant food and little predation in their wet, 10sq.km patch of habitat. Only discovered in the last few years, these slugs have maintained a low profile because they are in such a remote location, he says.’
