Hi Warren,
This is likely wrong but to get the ball rolling is it Booroomba Rocks?
Nice image btw (as usual)

Johnw G'day. Not Booroomba Rocks, this formation is further North.

Here are two images of Booroomba Rocks taken during Winter, for your interest ... http://s225.photobucket.com/user/WildWa ... ort=3&o=20 ... and ... http://s225.photobucket.com/user/WildWa ... ort=3&o=59

I knew I've stood on the same spot but scratching my head since yesterday.
Finally the lights go on. Haven't been there for a year or so but this is Kingfisher Pool in Heathcote NP, on the Bullawarring Track.

In the interest of keeping things moving, I think you are safe to take it away johnw.

Yes, good idea Robert. Given the very warm weather up here I suspect Tom has probably gone canyoning.

From NSW, name the water feature in this misty shot:

Katoomba Falls from Furber Steps, Katoomba NSW

Hi Warren, not Fitzroy Falls. This is close-ish to a 200km drive from there.

perhaps Bridal Veil falls?
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

Not Wentworth Falls and not Bridal Veil Falls, but both of those are nearby (in fact there are two falls in the area that I know of called Bridal Veil, and both are close to this spot, although the lesser known of them is probably closer). I'm halfway down very steep named stairs (ladders really) that form part of a track into the valley below, with access to these falls as a side trip.

No guesses? Here is a clue - another shot from the same location - this one a bit wider.

Not northern Wollemi - a long way south of that (but still in the Greater Blue Mts)

The photo is taken outside of the Blue Breaks, but is looking into the Blue Breaks - which part and from where?

Absolute wild guess. Axehead in the middle of the photo. Maybe taken from around Mt Colong.

Good guess - yes looking at Tonalli Mtn, Axehead Mtn, Vengeance Peninsula and Broken Rock Range - taken from Mt Colong. A great vantage spot - if you can find a clear view through all the tree.

Over to you.

Thanks Dave.

I'll be away for 3 days from tomorrow morning so a nice easy one to keep things moving.

NSW. Name any feature or where I am.
