Yes, Gungartan. This was a number of years ago, not been up there since. The trig has fallen over?

Thanks Stef, I was running out of options. Must explore around there more when things return to normal.

Thanks johnw, it's nice and a little removed from the Main Range crowds.
More NSW from near Anton. Hopefully some one will know because I'm not sure myself :)

I think you are heading up to the Kerries, possibly near the upper reaches of Dicky Cooper creek

Kerries sounds right to me, heading South and about to reach Gungartan Pass and then onto Gungartan (off to the left of photo). Dicky Bogong Cooper and the Granite Peaks in front of me and Twynam, Tennison and the Crags behind that.
