Is that Barrow from the Ben Lomond turn off?

Well your half right, it is Barrow, but taken from a distinctive peak in it's own right...

Going off the paddocks in front, I'll go with Mt Scott then.

One of the many NE peaks I'm yet to visit.

What peak am I looking at?

South to the Chimaera, from the side of the Hippogriff?

Too easy! From the top of a cliff band on the Hippogriff.

Easy is good sometimes. Like this one (as a walk, at least).

Weird. You post a shot you think will be fairly easy, and there's no response for hours.

clue: There is a tenuous link between this place and the last photo I posted.

You're thinking along the right lines, but there's a problem with the details.

Its strange how something one thinks is easy is so hard.
Its easy because lots of people would see these islands - especially drive by tourists.
Its hard because the scale is hard to judge [they are bigger than one first thinks] and because few would see them from this angle.
I suspect the tenuous bit is about colour - and the missing part is White again!! [But I was more struck by the vivid red/orange rocks there.]
So maybe the Nuggets from Whitewater Wall
[although the nearby coast is called Bluestone Bay / Little Bluestone

Yes, Whitewater Wall it is.

Would make an interesting theme to run with for a while - whites and blues and greys and browns and greens and blacks and reds and all that stuff.

It looks Franklandish. If you're following the lead, that means it could be Greycap or Redtop.
Would be easier to narrow it down if I'd done that bit.

Well that's Frankland Peak so you must be on or coming off Greycap?

Searching this site - it appears NNW has called this Green Bluff (aka Urquharts Mesa).
But I know not whence the naming, Its not on any of the List maps.

Green Bluff was the name for it on the peakbaggers spreadsheet that MJD put together. Urquharts Mesa (as a nod to the nearby Macs Mtn) is Bill Wilkiinson's name for it and, if not yet official, is probably under consideration by the Nomenclature Board.

That’s the one Green Bluff aka Urqharts Mesa. If I remember rightly it was the Yellowbush that was the real problem on Green Bluff so maybe a good time for a name change!
