Yes jonnosan. I couldn't believe it was snowing here 2 days after Xmas while it was 38 degrees in Sydney with bushfires raging.

More from KNP. What is the name of the ridge silhouetted in this sunset shot?

Closer examination indicated the bump was just below Alice Rawson.

Thanks eggs, Hope to be standing there come mid November. Might even be a few skiing the chutes with the snow we have had this season. Still within the Kosi NP, which hut is this?

Could it be one of the very few I've ever been in - the rebuilt Pretty Plain Hut?

I'll take a punt (which is topical at this time of year) and say Cascades Hut.

Good one Tyreless, It is Cascades Hut. A nice little hut that is normally well looked after by its visitors

Wow, lucky guess.

NSW again (sorry interstaters - but I am taking an interstate holiday next week so hopefully I can provide a bit more variety after that)...

Without any clues it's a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Not Mt Hay. Not Blue Mountains NP, but close to a photo I posted in this thread recently.

Yes indeed. It's not an easy location to get to, which is a shame because it is a fantastic place. Probably a bit easier at the moment with the river scoured. The whole ridge from the Needle to the helipad is fantastic.

All yours jonosan.
