Panorama from the Mount Arapiles Fire Tower in the Mount Arapiles Tooan State Park, Victoria, Australia. Mount Arapiles rises 140 above the Wimmera plains and offers uninterupted views over the surrounding farm land, making it an ideal spot for the fire tower which is manned during Victoria's Fire Danger Period. Mount Arapiles is world renowned for its rock climbing opportunities.
