Pantoneys Crown is an isolated plateau in the upper Capertee Valley, north of Lithgow, New South Wales. It is part of the Gardens of Stone National Park.

On the weekend of 1-2 Sep 2012 I took a group comprising mainly of overseas exchange students to this special place. We had perfect cold clear weather for this trip to this beautiful area with its panoramic views.

On the trip were: Cornelia, Lydia, Caitlin, Ulla, Joan, Patricia, George, Ekaterina, Kari, Ashley
