Should we have two different photos or should one be deleted? (Jasabella)
- No harm in having two, although there's not really enough text at the moment to need them. What we could really do with is more text about the sisters. By the way, you can sign your name by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~. That automatically puts your name and the date, like this: Worldtraveller 15:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

- Hmmm... should we upload them to commons and create a gallery? - Ta bu shi da yu 09:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Isn't a harder capstone layer reponsible for the comparable erosion resistance of these pinnacles? --Wetman 04:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aboriginal legend
Wouldn't it be good to have the real Aboriginal legend on this page? Since it is already mentioned that the told story here is not Aboriginal.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the whole story. It was something about an Aboriginal medicine man and his three daughters who lived in the mountains. And there was the bunyip that frightened them all. That's why the medicine man always told his girls to hide in the mountains when he went away. One day when he was gone and the girls hid again, a frightening animal came up to them and one of the girls threw a stone after it. Then after a short time of silence all the animals ran away, because the stone awakened the bunyip that was very angry to be disturbed in his sleep. When the medicine man saw that his daughters were in danger, he turned them into rocks, so they would be safe for the moment. He wanted to turn them back after the danger was gone. But the bunyip got even angrier when he realized that somebody interfered and so he chased the medicine man. But on his escape, the medicine man got buried under a stone which fell onto him and so he was forced to turn himself into a bird. This way he could escape the bunyip, but alas he lost his magic bone, so he can't turn the girls back into their human form. And so he's looking for his bone until this day and the three sisters wait for him to turn them back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.94.146 (talk) 10:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
