I want to say you're in the Grose somewhere but having trouble with orientation. Also it would have to be an older shot with that amount of damage.

That's pretty much it. I was between Miner's Pass and the Kedumba River. It's a strange, dusty, barren place following the hazard reduction burn. All yours, jonnosan.

That's so sad. Is that the long ridge that goes down to the Kedumba-Jamison junction? I remember it as a lush green area, with some fantastically lovely forest... Particularly, there was a beautiful paperbark ringed campsite, which I guess is a charcoal wasteland now ).;

Dont get me started.. I was walking along federal pass between Leura and Katoomba a couple of week ago and NPWS had decided to have another go at a bit of unburnt bush below solitary.

Any way.. I'l contribute a pic as Jonosan has declared it open. Where am I. in NSW.

I blame the repetition on old age. I suppose I should tag my photos after I've used them here. :)

Yes that's it Tyreless. I am taking my son for an overnighter there in 3 weeks so would be interested in an ipdate on water at mobbs if you are going that way. Was completely bone dry this ANZAC day.

I recognised the bridge, which is still there above Leura Cascades. But the rest took a little research.
I believe this may be Katoomba Swimming Baths around 1920. Love the outfits.

Oops, looks like jonnosan beat me to it.
