Lophophaps, G'day again Mate.

Are you on Feathertop ... overlooking Bogong?

That was much faster than I expected. Timms Lookout ridge, a short way before it falls into Big River. The trig may well be the black circle in the cloud on the high bump. All yours, robl.

Wow, that was 90% WAG. I could not place it anywhere else in KNP, so process of elimination. I camped there a year ago, nice spot, but no water and less snow in summer. The next pic is in Victoria.

Not W. Gorge. It has been quiet of late. Parts of this river system are quite popular, but this section is not visited often.

East of there. Note that when I say east I mean make a NS line through the feature and then go east. So east of the upper Wellington, Tali Karng.

No. South of The Barries, west of Omeo, north of Walhalla and east of Licola. These boundaries are NS and EW lines through those places.

Wobbly, correct. This is in a very rugged section below the easy access at the top at Horseyard Flat, probably SW of Mount Dawson. We went over Kent, Little Kent, Dawson, Snowy Bluff and westish to camp near Higgins Yard. Then upstream, much wetness. We ran out of time and went up the spur to Cromwells Knob, so there's a good 6 kilometres to be walked/climbed/waded to reach the gorge proper. It's very spectacular. Tale a 20 metre length of rope. Your turn.

Razorback looking towards Feathertop...I think that's called The Big Dipper.

GBW, on the Frost Plains of the North the landscape is similar.

So I'll try, South of Cooleman Caves, the creek at Seventeen Flat?
