I hadn’t even considered looking from other places. Now I won’t be able to help myself. Thanks a bunch for taking those photos.

There are some good views of Cactus Rock from further away than Acacia Avenue – the ground level foliage and houses on Acacia obscure the base of the rock. Interestingly, there is a good view from near the intersection of Glenbrook Drive and Bowling Drive. Another good view is available from the Mountain View Cemetery, looking across Broadway Terrace.

I’ve posted some photographs on Flickr.
