It looks like KNP, and my doubtful WAG is ... Doubtful River.

by **peregrinator** » Fri 31 Mar, 2017 6:16 am

KNP is correct. Doubtful River is half correct. And the big hunk of rock is . . . ?

by **Lophophaps** » Fri 31 Mar, 2017 9:58 am

Slightly less WAG. Typo above - should have checked river or creek. Doubtful Creek looking at McAlister Saddle?

by **peregrinator** » Fri 31 Mar, 2017 3:40 pm

No doubt that it's Doubtful Creek. McAlister Saddle is on the distant horizon. By "big hunk of rock", I mean the feature on the right across the creek, taller than a human.

My map and memory are silent on such fine detail. I know roughly where it is and have been there summer and winter, but do not know the name. Edit - is it the Monolith?

by **peregrinator** » Sat 01 Apr, 2017 6:37 am

Sure is. Another photograph of the same scene was posted to the forum here: http://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=23877&p=308379&hilit=monolith#p308361

Thanks. I finally remembered the picture in the link and took another slightly less WAG. This is in Victoria.

Mt Stapylton?

by **Lophophaps** » Mon 03 Apr, 2017 12:38 pm

No. Warmish.

by **jimjim** » Tue 04 Apr, 2017 12:17 pm

Is it in the Black Range? (the one West of the Grampians near Rocklands)

Or perhaps down Red Rock way, near Buandik?.....

Or somewhere.

by **eggs** » Tue 04 Apr, 2017 12:24 pm

To keep it rolling - what about Mt Abrupt?

by **Lophophaps** » Tue 04 Apr, 2017 4:31 pm

Nope. Further south.

by **eggs** » Tue 04 Apr, 2017 4:42 pm

The main Gramp further south is Mt Sturgeon?

by **Lophophaps** » Tue 04 Apr, 2017 6:10 pm

Mea culpa. I meant to say "No further north." It's in the Grampians.

by **jonnosan** » Fri 07 Apr, 2017 6:22 pm

Since no-one seems to be saying anything, I will say "Spion Kopje" to fill the void.

by **robl** » Sat 08 Apr, 2017 10:23 am

Mt William?

by **Lophophaps** » Sat 08 Apr, 2017 4:21 pm

Not Spion Kopje or Mount William. Northish of Mount William.

by **robl** » Sat 08 Apr, 2017 6:20 pm

Mt Difficult?

by **Lophophaps** » Sat 08 Apr, 2017 6:51 pm

No, but getting warmer.

by **eggs** » Sat 08 Apr, 2017 11:16 pm

Briggs Bluff.

by **Lophophaps** » Sun 09 Apr, 2017 6:43 am

Correct. This is a lovely spot, slightly off the Mount Difficult circuit. Coming from the circuit track there's two creeks, with one just before the summit. If you like exposed campsites, near here is nice.

by **eggs** » Sun 09 Apr, 2017 4:21 pm

We took the kids there when I had to carry the youngest. That was the direct route up from Briggs Gap.
I did not remember that particular overhang though.

Next one is in SA.

by **jimjim** » Mon 10 Apr, 2017 1:27 pm

Is this Port Lincoln National Park?

The land in the distance would be Kangaroo Island ?

by **eggs** » Mon 10 Apr, 2017 1:33 pm

You are close - but the land in the distance is actually in the Pt Lincoln NP, which places me where..?

by **jimjim** » Mon 10 Apr, 2017 3:32 pm

I'll have to guess at somewhere on York Peninsula? But I thought there is a lot of granite there so I'm a bit confused now....

by **eggs** » Mon 10 Apr, 2017 4:31 pm

No - this is still on Eyre Peninsula - it is west from Pt Lincoln NP.

You have thrown me with "granite" though?
I don't know of any on York, and on Eyre it is all way up north.
The third SA peninsula - Florieu - has granite at Victor Harbor.

by **MountainMadness** » Tue 11 Apr, 2017 10:29 am

Cape Wiles. Admit jimjim response prompted me to look at my Coffin Bay trip photos so jimjim can go if he pleases (otherwise I'll post a photo later tonight). That's if eggs confirms...........

by **eggs** » Tue 11 Apr, 2017 10:51 am

Yes. It is the rocky end of Cape Wiles - though the name is new to me.
The area/park is known as Whalers Way.

by **MountainMadness** » Tue 11 Apr, 2017 11:07 am

Yes same here - knew the name of the road the area around the peninsula as Whalers Way but had to look up the name of the actual location (think Cape Wiles is considered the east end of the peninsula - the location of your photo - and thought I'd be specific).

by **MountainMadness** » Tue 11 Apr, 2017 7:45 pm

Righto I have dug into the archives - where was one of our favorite day trip spots in the NT? Excuse the 90s dorks in the foreground............
