This should be quick as well, so long as one understands that the term "mountain" is sometimes context-dependent.

What is the mountain (would I lie to you?) on the central horizon and what is the vantage point? The NP is in Victoria.

The two "peaks" concerned are the highest in the area, but both are less than 100 metres.

Looks like somewhere in The Little Desert but I can't actually think of any 'mountains' other than the rise at Trip Point?

Central Southern? - Is one of them a Mt Sugarloaf?

There's sand, stringybark, ti-tree and banksia here, but also mangroves not far away, so I think that rules out Little Desert.

As far as flavourings go, I'd be thinking salt rather than sugar for this general location. But chicory might also be mentioned.

Mt Sugarloaf is northern Wilsons Prom NP near the coast [which I was assuming would be necessary] and under 100m tall..

That's the one, icefest. The highest point on French Island at 98 metres. Unlike its namesake in Tasmania, not much chance of ice on this one. Photograph taken from The Pinnacles (66m).

Do we need a hint?

If I were to pee here, it would end up in the Kiewa River :p

Sooo close....

I'm not in, or overlooking pretty valley. That lake isn't pretty valley pondage :/

Alright just taking a bit of a stab in the dark here from what I can see on my map/google earth haha. The snow's messed me up a bit ;)

The only other lake I can see around this area is that little pondage thing along the aqueduct at Langfords Gap...but there appears to be a little bit of vegetation around that area too (though this may just be covered by snow...)

I have to apologise. It is in fact pretty valley dam.

I kept getting pretty and rocky valley dams mixed up :s

No worries, I tend to get them mixed up too :) How about this one - what hut am I looking down upon? (Vic)

Love those huts. I never did achieve my NSW & Vic hut-bagging goal, but peak-bagging in Tassie isn't a bad alternative. :-)

This might be a bit too obscure without clues, but we'll see. It's in a national park in NSW.
Edit - to be more specific, what official camping spot is hiding behind the cliffs in the foreground?

Doesn't look that familiar, but maybe Little Beach in Bouddi?
