That’s the right general area but not the correct answer.

There is an awful lot of water just over the horizon, and a smaller body not far behind me.

RNP - Marley from the lagoon?
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

Point Nepean NP? Maybe near the Quarantine Station?

Not Point Nepean NNW.

There is an iconic lighthouse just out of shot, part of a multiday walk.
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

Cajun, thanks for the clue.

On what mountain in South Australia was this shot taken?

This is looking in a southerly direction. Cajun's sig above reminds me that looking west there's a sunlit plain extended which includes a "lake".

I might have a dab at this one. Would you be on Mt Dib?

Eggs, I was very confident you'd get this one. Yes, on Mt Dib, with Mt Dab on the left being the next high point on the ABC Range. The southern end of the Heysen Range is mid-distance right and Wilpena Pound is on the horizon.

When are we gonna get Mts Deb, Dob and Dub, I wonder. Or an XYZ Range? Perhaps we need another C. Warren Bonyton.

I have looked up at Dib & Dab, but it was reading another account that had me thinking about climbing them. Another day for now.

It is Grampians, but no Wonderland or Thackery.
This crevice is one of the obstacles on an unofficial track to a peak.
