So you’re looking at Woolpack Head?

by **jonnosan** » Mon 09 Apr, 2018 6:16 pm

actually I am 90% confident it's Byrns Bluff, bit I am going to give it to Tyreless because I may have messed up my record keeping, and you are on the correct plateau (Mootik)

Thanks jonnosan - very generous. Next up is also in NSW.

looks a bit like mt mouin from the end of narrowneck?

by **Tyreless** » Tue 10 Apr, 2018 10:31 am

You've identified Mt Mouin on the left, but it's not from Narrowneck. Close but, so far, no cigar.

ah yeah its looking north east from one of the wild dogs, with korrowall ridge in the background

by **Tyreless** » Tue 10 Apr, 2018 12:00 pm

You got it, jonnosan. Photo is from just north of Dingo Gap looking north-east. Over to you.

Mt Townsend from Wilkinsons Creek

by **johnw** » Tue 10 Apr, 2018 1:23 pm

Some judicious cropping going on there :wink:

. First thought is Townsend and Alice Rawson from somewhere in Wilkinsons Valley below Muellers Peak.

by **jonnosan** » Tue 10 Apr, 2018 2:07 pm

johnw - nothing specifically cropped, just how the photo came out :-)

otherwise you are spot on.

Thanks jonnosan. Still NSW, what peak am I on?

I didn't realise how much the quality of that photo sucks. Here is a slightly different view from the same location.

I still can't make out much detail - just enough to know it's nowhere I've personally visited, but seems to be a subordinate peak somewhere in the alps so scrolling around the topo looking at interesting place names - 'purgatory hill?'

Not Purgatory Hill Jonnosan, or anything in that immediate vicinity. You are in the right general region though. This peak is a fair way north east of the Cascades area as the crow flies, and is not all that commonly visited. The summit is around 1500 m ASL. There is a significant body of water out of view well to my left in both photos. The area nearby is popular with fly fishermen and the like.

Kalkite Mountain? I have always wanted to climb it. Was it enjoyable?

Yes and yes Zapruda. It was one of those walks that had some adventure and a bit of everything. The main issue when we did it (end of 2006) was that it really needed a high clearance 4WD for access. Fortunately I then owned one. The road in might be better now, but check. Most of the walk itself is quite easy. There was a hut, a river crossing, an off track climb to the top via a plateau inhabited by scores of wallabies, great views from the trig (below the summit), then a very scrubby descent when I decided to be a smartarse and take a direct route back down, and stampeding wild horses including a standoff with a brumby stallion on the Botherum Plain.

It was Twynam and little Twynam on the right hand side of last pic that gave it away. Thanks for all the info, John. Sounds like it was a nice adventure.

How about this one, from NSW...

by **crollsurf** » Thu 12 Apr, 2018 3:57 pm

Looks a bit small for the Glow Worm Tunnel, so I'm going to say the Boxvale Tramway Trail

by **Tyreless** » Thu 12 Apr, 2018 4:08 pm

Spot on, crollsurf. All yours.

by **crollsurf** » Thu 12 Apr, 2018 4:11 pm

I'm going to struggle to get to my photos today, so if anyone else want to jump in, be my guest

by **crollsurf** » Fri 13 Apr, 2018 10:19 am

Thanks Tyreless
I beach in NSW that is anything but remote

Wrong side of Sydney I'm afraid GregR

by **Lophophaps** » Fri 13 Apr, 2018 11:14 am

Looks like Royal NP, Garie Beach or North Era. I've done the walk once and the places blurred!

by **crollsurf** » Fri 13 Apr, 2018 11:23 am

Garie Beach it is Lophophaps. Over to you

by **Lophophaps** » Fri 13 Apr, 2018 12:16 pm

Thanks. I should have taken more pics. The pic below is in Victoria. While it's a well-known region, despite the foot track it seems that not many people venture to this spot.

just trying to keep the game moving...somewhere near Ryders huts in the Bogong High Plains
