Hint_ its not on the coast!

And NNW I'm sure you actually know this one-you're just trying to be sweet......

I don't do sweet. And while I might have been there once upon a time, I don't recognise the place.

Perhaps I could re-phrase that then. NNW is just trying to be bellicose and curmudgeonly (which is all an act, as deep down she really must have some sweetness hidden in there!! Surely??)

As for the location - another useless hint. It's between Robe and Green Cape

I don't have to try. It comes naturally.

No - it would have to be buried deep, because no-one's ever seen it. Not even me.

Well, gee golly gosh, so it is. And I should have recognised it. At least you were right about that, Greg.

OK, as I also recognised Bryces, and as it would be nice to continue with a Vic subject after lots of NSW recently:

GregR, that is the one, so your turn next. I was hoping that Vagrom would come back with that identification, as he had previously named two of the four lakes in this Pink Lakes section of the Murray-Sunset NP.

SW end of Lake Becking, where the wonderful Sunset Remote walking track passes by. The plank/corded/corduroy "road" was made for access in salt extraction (operating commercially from 1916 to 1975).

I know its JohnW's turn but I walked though this a few weekends ago on a major trail and found it interesting enough to post... there were wallaby tracks in the mud and its about 30m long.
