Description

AI Overview 'The Porch of the Caryatids' is the name given to a natural rock pagoda in the Blue Mountains that is supported by eight brick columns built to prevent it from collapsing onto the railway line below. It is located between the Ninth and Tenth Tunnels of the Main Western Line and was named by bushwalker Michael Keats in 2012 because the supporting columns reminded him of the Porch Annex of the Parthenon in Greece, which features sculptures of female figures known as caryatids.
