The mountain I'm climbing is a bit of a gem, if only a small one

Here is a photo from that mountain:

I can't figure out where we are. If not a NP I'm assuming state forest.
Is the distant background around Namadgi, or that general area?

Part of the distant background is in Namadgi, including the more prominent peak

Waterfall Creek on Mount Wee Jasper

[johnw]

Well I've got some of the clues to line up. Still a bit of a WAG - Mount Wee Jasper on the Hume and Hovell track?

EDIT: While pfaffing around looking at maps etc I didn't see crollsurf's post, which I think is probably correct.

Waterfall Creek on Mount Wee Jasper

Got there in the end

[crollsurf]

Thanks, thought you might have broken it there for a while. Next is in the ACT

[johnw]

Granite Tors?

[crollsurf]

Granite Tors?

Correct, a side track to the old Orroral Geodetic Observatory

[johnw]

Thanks, that's been on my to do list for a while.

Staying in the ACT:

Kambah Pool

[johnw]

Not Kambah Pool. This is one of several unnamed pools at this location, some are part of a named river (not the Murrumbidgee).

Blue tiles?

Blue tiles?

Not Blue Tiles or Molonglo R. This is probably a less significant river. A number of short walks around here and a handful of more challenging ones. This waterhole has a man made feature at one end.

The wetlands at tidbinbilla?

The wetlands at tidbinbilla

Yes that's good enough. A really easy doddle around the Sanctuary loop, but excellent post op rehab for my new knee. This pool from memory is one of two that are dammed.

Thanks. NSW:

Paddys River Falls

Thats it, just on sunset

[north-north-west]

That's a lovely shot.

[johnw]

That's a lovely shot.

Took the words out of my mouth. Wonderful lighting and patient photography.

Next, still on the waterfall theme. Australian territory:

Looking towards Cockpit Waterfall and Cascade Bay, Norfolk Island

Cockpit fall?

Cockpit fall?

Yes, on Norfolk island. The drop can be viewed from the timber platform being vacated by that cow, but the falls are somewhat ephemeral. Only a trickle when I visited, needs heavy rain for full flow.
