Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[peregrinator]

It looks Arapiles?

Snowzone, it sure is Mt Arapiles. Viewed from the north on the walking track between Horseshoe Bend and Mallee Camp in the Little Desert NP.

[Snowzone]

Ok another one from Vic. What track am I on to see this interesting Boulder.

[FootTrack]

One of the Abraded Monoliths adjacent the Waterloo Bay - Oberon Bay Walking Track?

Got it in one FootTrack, over to you.

[FootTrack]

Got it in one FootTrack, over to you.

Cheers Snowzone! Here's an easy one from Victoria

[Snowzone]

I suppose there's no rules about answering two in a row is there? It'd be Diamantina Hut.

That's the one Snowzone! Back to you!

[Snowzone]

Thanks FootTrack, Lets make it another easy one in Vic again.

[Snowzone]

Ok maybe its not so easy and its time for a clue.
Its within a days walk of the previous Hut.

[melinda]

Heh snowzone,
I do believe this is Blair Hut.
Arrived here one day to find 3 very well fed horses grazing there. One of them still had a halter on.
Later that day met riders coming down the ridge looking for them!

Escaped horses

It certainly is Melinda! I have been there myself when a horse tour group stayed there overnight, so perhaps the horses know their own way there, after all it is a beautiful spot to camp.

[melinda]

Yes Snowzone, it is a beautiful spot, in fact that whole area is worth spending time in.
Ok so, on a recent trip in NSW my imagination was captured by this mountain.
I stand alone, I stand proud, I am?

[melinda]

I was in a grand place when I saw this!

[melinda]

And I must admit, I was a little high when I saw this!

[johnw]

Melinda, This view was whited out when I last visited the spot but I'll try Tonduron Spire from Grand High Tops in the Warrumbungles.

[melinda]

Sure is John,
Hell of a drive but such an interesting area!
Over to you

Yes it's a bit of a drive. We last made it a stopover on a scenic road trip to SE QLD. Grand High Tops circuit + Fans Horizon is a great day trip.

Since it hasn't rained forever and I'm melting in ~40c I'm now reminiscing. Once upon a time from a rainy short walk in NSW.
Clue - it's named pretty much exactly what it looks like:

Flat Rock Creek, Royal NP NSW

[Pteropus]

Flat rock creek, RNP

[johnw]

Flat rock creek, RNP

Yep, you know it Pteropus. All yours.

Thanks John. I've not played the game in a while since I haven't been walking very much due to me becoming a dad, and also currently not living on the mainland so any photos are irrelevant to this particular comp (but teasingly, currently living in a bushwalking paradise on some island down south , but no time to get out). But here is an pic from my past to remind myself I used to visit the bush on a regular basis. From Qld, where was I.

Mt Barney, climbing off the east peak to the Rum Jungle Saddle

[Champion_Munch]

Mt Barney, looks like you are wandering around the track leading down from the east peak?

[Pteropus]

thats it, Mt Barney, climbing off the east peak.

[Champion_Munch]

Alrighty, what mountain am I on in south east QLD?

Hint: the location of the previous photo is in the distance here

[Pteropus]

Since no one is having a go: Mt Greville

[Champion_Munch]

Spot on! Mt Greville is a great little mountain to climb

[Pteropus]

Spot on! Mt Greville is a great little mountain to climb

Yeah, its got some interesting terrain with all the little canyons/gorges.
Next pic is another mountain in Qld.

Mt Bowen, Hinchinbrook Island

Congratulations on becoming a dad Andrew, if you didn't know you were alive before I'll bet you do now . You can actually post a shot from that other island within the game rules. I'll be down there again myself over the Xmas break.

Back to the game, I believe this is the spectacular Mt Bowen on Hinchinbrook Island. I've not been there but understand this is a very challenging climb. I read Warren Macdonald's (inspirational) book years ago about the disastrous outcome of his attempt.

Thanks John. It has been an interesting experience, that is for sure! I have managed to get out for one over nighter and a couple of day walks since the little fella's arrival, and so there is hope for my sanity
And yes, it is Mt Bowen on Hinchinbrook.

Where in NSW is this formation that I nicknamed "Teapot Rock".

Overlooking "teapot rock" to the Munyang Valley and beyond from below Mt Gungartan, Kosciuszko NP NSW

[johnw]

Clue - I'm not far below the summit of the equal 18th highest peak in NSW.
