Looks a lot like Howman Falls on the way to Mt Bogong

Howman Falls it is, the top one above the swimming pool which is above the main drop. All yours.

Thanks Lops, was mapping out a few pools to visit over Summer the other day. Still in the high country :roll: but in NSW.
Name the River I'm walking next to.

Close, its part of a tributary of the Geehi. It has a name.

In that case I'll take an uneducated guess and say Valentine Creek.

It’s more of a feature than a river or creek.

That is one of the most photographed views in NSW but Tyreless, that photo is as good as the best I've seen.
Maybe this one contravenes the rules but see how we go. I'm sure anyone who has camped here will recognize it. NSW. Hint, there is a small but reliable creek to the right of the photo and if you walk straight ahead, there is a visitors book and a view.

I've never camped there, but from your description I'll guess it's Dex Creek, with the visitors book at Cloudmaker.

It looks kind of like that camp spot several klms up-stream from the Jones creek junction on the Ettrema.

But I wouldn't describe Ettrama Ck as a small, reliable creek nor can I recall a visitors book...so in short, Dunno??

A bit further South puredingo. To get there, I ride my bike from Sassafras to the turnoff and then follow an overgrown track.

I love that valley down there. So beautiful and peaceful.

Still in Dubberland. Name any of the nearest landmarks.
