 I will let someone else have a go because I may not yet have another photo to post if I'm right, but the "C" is the first letter in the first word of a two-word town name, I believe? Cheers

 Hi Dunmowin.

Did you forget to turn somewhere because that is a little down the road.

Stay safe.

pTold you it was an indirect route (Rockhampton, via Cairns, atherton......) Remember, grey nomads never take the most direct route, or a straight line.

Come on, I know you both know where it is. If I said it was just down the road, it would be a dead give away.

 Fair enough. It's Ballandean but I'll leave it to Radar or somebody else  to put up the next picture. Cheers

 

Oops! Just saw JeffRae posted one minute before I did. Sorry JR.

Ballandean Pyramid?

 Sorry, been on the trains all weekend again, though I had answered. Yes to Ballandean Pyramid.

From Wiki......

The pyramid was built after a local resident, Peter Watters (Watters Vine Management Service), asked the land owner Stewart Morland what was to be done with the surplus amount of granite rocks that were excavated for land tillage, humorously suggesting that a pyramid could be constructed.[2] Four hours later Morland decided to build the pyramid and contracted the work to Ken Stubberfield at a cost of $1000.[2][3][4]

The pyramid base was to be 30 metres wide. Landscaping of the base was completed early and the rocks were collected by a dump truck and brought to the site. The first three levels of rocks were laid first by a large excavator and then manoeuvred appropriately into place by a smaller excavator. As the pyramid rose, a makeshift dirt ramp was built to negotiate the height and the construction vehicles used this access ramp to complete the pyramid. At the end of construction, the ramp was removed by the excavator.[5]

The pyramid, which weighs approximately 7500 tonnes,[6] took eight months to build.[7]
