MountainMadness wrote:I'll pay that Tyreless - I originally thought it was Hay and Banks but I now suspect that the bulk of the mountain outline on the right is probably Tomah, with only the top of Banks showing slightly left of centre of the outline. Not positive on this though

On a cool and windy day (minimal smog and heat haze) I'll have to get my good camera out and do some zooming........ Fire away Tyreless

I concur with Tyreless, I reckon it's Tomah. It would be easier to be certain if the comms tower was visible.

They are visible from many locations around my area as well. You can see them when standing on the roof of my house. Always thought they may have been Banks but Tomah and Hay makes more sense. Good to know I am not the only one who has wondered.

Thanks MM - that's generous of you.

Still in NSW, what was I looking at last Sunday?

Upper Grose Valley, maybe from Wilkinson Hill or Jinki Ridge?

It’s from the end of Jinki Ridge. So many great places to visit there and the wildflowers are beautiful now.

Over to you, johnw.

Thanks Tyreless, I was walking in the general area myself on Saturday and noted the variety of wildflowers.

That was quick, correct crollsurf. With one of the bridge pylons right foreground. Pretty good campground at Ten Mile Hollow.

Thanks johnw. I recognized it straight away. It's nice around there, easy walking with some history along the way.

How about Nibelung Pass, Budawangs? It's probably the "No Camping" sign in the background.

Thanks crollsurf. I'm trekking back from Annapurna Base Camp at the moment, and have no Aussie photos with me (although WiFi is everywhere!).

So anyone can go next.

That's it Tyreless, I thought this would go quickly. Sadly, as I just read, the tunnel access has been recently fenced off due to vandalism and other undesirable behaviour impacting on the glow worm colony.

I reckon you'll be correct. I almost posted a shot last week from, I'm pretty sure, the same fence post :lol:.

I'll pay that, although it's a bit difficult to tell exactly where Kangaroo Ridge begins and ends. This photo was taken halfway between spot 1959 and the Snowy River.

Over to you, crollsurf.

Reminds me of the upper Snowy R upstream of the Kosci Rd bridge. Merritts or possibly Spenders Ck could be contenders though.
