Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[eggs]

That's the spot. Over to you.

[peregrinator]

What is the location of this hut in a South Australian National Park?

Hikers (or walkers) hut near Grindell campground, Vulkathunha NP.

[eggs]

I have now been to 3 huts in SA, the most recent 2 are nothing like this - and the other is way back and I have no photos and limited memory of the insides.
It was the walkers hut at Grindalls in the Gammons - cosy with only 1 bed.

[peregrinator]

Yes, eggs, this is the interior of what I've seen referred to as the hikers hut near the Grindell old and new huts. I've looked for but so far not found anything that documents the history of this hut. "Danger . . . please . . ." on a piece of board covers the fireplace to prevent people from using it. We hope.

[eggs]

I was just going to give up on this one, but then the thought crossed my mind that could have been the fireplace at Grindalls - though I don't remember a board over it...

Next one is in the NT.

Valley of the Winds walk through the conglomerate domes of Kata Tjuta [Olgas]

[johnw]

Is this the walk around the base of Uluru?

[eggs]

No - a close view of the rock type indicates it is not Uluru

[wobbly]

Are you on the valley of the winds walk?

[eggs]

Yes Wobbly - on the Valley of the Winds walk through the conglomerate domes of Kata Tjuta [Olgas]

[wobbly]

Thanks Eggs. Back to Victoria- where was I last weekend?

[peregrinator]

Beeripmo?

[wobbly]

Very close but i'm not at the Beeripmo campsite or on the actual Beeripmo walk.

[peregrinator]

Mt Buangor?

[wobbly]

Yes that's it - taken just below the summit and 500 or so metres past the huge sign that says "End of Beeripmo walk".
Over to you Peregrinator.

[peregrinator]

Yes, no views from the summit due to trees. There's also a sign stating "Road closed - management vehicles and walkers only". This doesn't stop the morons. I've reported their damage to Parks Vic, who are taking steps to deter this.

Another mountain, this time an easy one (I hope, because I'm getting packed for a trip) in South Australia.

[Lophophaps]

I have not been there for decades, but St Marys Peak?

[peregrinator]

Go NNE.

[peregrinator]

Neatest correct entry gets a pat on the back.

[peregrinator]

I thought there'd be some people here who had this down pat.

[johnw]

Not a hope without the clues but I think this is Patawarta Hill?

[peregrinator]

Yes, it's not Patagonia. It is indeed the summit of Patawarta Hill, according to the map, but possibly a Mountain according to me.

[johnw]

Yes, it's not Patagonia. It is indeed the summit of Patawarta Hill, according to the map, but possibly a Mountain according to me.

Whatever it is (or isn't) , that's certainly an impressive summit cairn. Slowly warming up mrs to the idea of visiting Flinders R. region, been on my bucket list for a long time.

NSW, what track am I on?

Lake Jindabyne from the Pallaibo track, Kosciuszko NP via Jindabyne NSW

[johnw]

If you know the lake this will be easier to get. The track is approx. 5.5km long, ~900m ASL at the bottom end, ~1238m ASL at the top end. There is a waterfall in the upper half.

[michael_p]

The lake looks like Lake Jindabyne. So I am guessing Waterfall Walk?

[johnw]

Not Waterfall Walk but you couldn't get much closer.

[michael_p]

Pallaibo or Sawpit Walk?

[johnw]

Pallaibo or Sawpit Walk?

Yes Michael, descending the lower part of the Pallaibo track.

[michael_p]

Thanks John.

I'll have a look for a photo in the morning. Open to anyone to jump in beforehand.

[michael_p]

Back to one of my regular stomping grounds.

The spot where I took the following photo does not have a name. So a geographic feature that is very close to this location will do. There are a couple of clues in the photo and with a bit of triangulation a rough location can be deduced.

OOPS...NSW

Looking to Ahearn Lookout from the point above the two branches of Troys Ck in Nattai NP.
Approx location: -34.283567,150.381750

[Lophophaps]

It seems to be part of Australia, but which state or territory?
