John W, you've got the trifecta: track, bridge, river. One correction though. It's been Cobboboonee NP for at least ten years.

Thanks, I haven't been there. Stumbled across references to both, made the wrong call :roll:.

It does resemble some of the features out there but no.
This is a long way from Bonnum Pic and very close to civilisation.

No but you are much, much closer. Within a few kms probably. This is a named feature that resembles its name, kind of, if you use some imagination.

Sorry I underestimated the proximity. It's about 10 km away from Boars Head as the crow flies.

Correct Tyreless. Just a short walk from Blackheath township en route to/from Centennial Glen and Porters Pass.

Not Howling Dog, nor Kariwoga. I had a Neil Diamond song running through my head as I looked at this feature.

That's it Jonnosan (although my map spells it as Korrowall Ridge). Looking towards Point Repulse and the "back door" to Mount Solitary. This was taken on my first, failed, attempt to get up Point Repulse. I made a successful trip a month later.

Over to you.

Here's a little video I took from the same spot as the above photo. Approximate (i.e. within a few kms) placement of where I am standing will do.

:-) I guess trying to crunch the video into the 3MB limit didn't work so well...

this area does have a colourful name, but nothing in the area has a medical name (well unless you consider a brand of toothpaste to be 'medical').

Apart from now being dizzy, I've got nothin'. Considering the clue I can only come up with Red Seal and White Glo.
So maybe Red Seal Rocks? Or White Glow Valley, neither of which I suspect exist.
