If Wobbly was going away for the weekend he or she would surely be driving then. I reckon if Wobbly has not posted by, say, 9am on Tuesday, anyone can go. How does that sound?
Almost..
Yes i was away walking for the long weekend but i left early on Saturday which is why i was still around to post a guess at the location on Friday evening.
cheers

Looks very RNP - Marley Lagoon?

Correct, I don't know if many would see this view of it. We took an off track excursion from the Marley trail along part of the lagoon then through the dunes to the coast track (sadly now a metal highway

Thank Wobbly. I have nothing to post until I get home tonight, so any one can go to keep the game going. I will post later tonight if no-one jumps in.

Looks lovely, another area on my bucket list. I haven't been there (I did pass through Renmark once a long time ago) but my research tells me it's the Murray River from Heading's Cliff Lookout, Murtho Forest Reserve near Paringa.

It certainly is John. On a very cold June morning, the mist on the river as the sun came up was almost as spectacular.
Over to you.

This is a NP. I climbed the peak in the middle on a circuit walk that nominally takes about 2.5 hours.

Correct eggs. The peak is unnamed as far as I'm aware. It is simply referred to as "the summit", and has great views.
