Sorry mate. Didn't see your edit. Henderson Falls on the Canyon Walk is a great circuit and one that I recommend however it's not the waterfall in my photo.

Sorry. Should have said south west.

No more offers required Greg as you are correct.

where else!! The other fellow or model as I preferred to call him was incredibly nervous about being seen leaving the toilet with another man. I am more enlightened and just don't give a ship!

Cheers Greg, it's certainly a beauty of a view!

Sticking in the same state, what trig point was I looking up at here?

Thanks for the clue, JM. I've seen it but can't remember whether we climbed it or not.

I haven't been there Graham (at least not yet), so no idea, but research suggests it could be Arenge Bluff.

Your research is spot on, John. And I think you would love it. We did it end to end in 2016 and are thinking of doing it again this year or next.

Thanks Graham. Yes that whole region has been in my sights for some time, the bucket list is getting huge :).

RNP somewhere, probably between burning palms and figure 8 pools?

I should have added that it is also not very far from this spot.

Your 50-50 paid off crollsurf, it is Mid Era Point. Nice alternate route to the main coast track around the rocks, but not in high seas.

Thanks johnw. I was thinking it was either that or Semi detached Point.
This photo was taken in NSW, a few steps downhill from an outlook overlooking a waterfall but it's not the one you may first think of. Name the track or the waterfall I'm heading to.

Is that Mt Hay in the distance, taken from above Vic Falls? Did the Vic Falls circuit (Mt Vic to Blackheath) as a daywalk earlier in the year but flew through here pretty quickly so don't have any photos to confirm this..........

Pretty sure that is Mt Banks in the distance. If the circuit is via Acacia Flats, you would be able to see where I am standing at some stage during the walk

Hmm - my money is on that being Mt Hay - not Mt Banks

So maybe above Bridal Veil Falls
