Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[GBW]

Close LHH but no cigar.

[johnw]

Tenison Woods Knoll/Watsons Crags Dome?

[GBW]

That's the one johnw. All yours.

[johnw]

That's the one johnw. All yours.

Thanks GBW. For some reason my own photos of it all seem to be from different angles, which made me uncertain.

Easy one, still in NSW:

On The Sentinel, Kosciuszko NP via Charlotte Pass NSW

[Tyreless]

South Rams Head?

[johnw]

South Rams Head?

Not South Rams Head

[Tyreless]

Oops. Looks like The Sentinel.

[Zapruda]

The Sentinel

[johnw]

Oops. Looks like The Sentinel.

The Sentinel

Both correct but looks like Tyreless was first by a whisker.

[Tyreless]

Gotta be quick! Still in NSW (photo edited to remove blatantly obvious clue)...

[Lophophaps]

Grey Mare FT, HellHole Junction.

[Tyreless]

My topo map calls it the Round Mountain Trail, not the Hell Hole Trail. But the answer is good enough for me. Over to you Lophophaps.

[Lophophaps]

Tyreless, you are right. GM FT goes NE to O'Keefes and RM FT goes north to - surprise! - Round Mountain. I don't look at the map much near there. This is in Victoria.

[johnw]

No idea, but let's try elephant rock.

[Lophophaps]

Elephant Rock is where? Is this like Crocodile Rock?

Now I have an earworm song in my head. To my amazement there appears to be a number of Elephant Rocks:

I also found something called Up The Elephant's Rear but we won't go there...

[Lophophaps]

I remember when rock was young,
Me and Suzie had so much fun,
Holding hands and skimming stones,
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
But the biggest kick I ever got,
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock,
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock.

Does that help?

I wanted to go on the stage,
And now my ambitions I've got 'em.
In my grey pantaloons I'm the rage,
As the hole in the elephant's bottom.

Also, which Elephant Rock?

[neilmny]

Taking a swag..........the rock looks to light in colour for Bushrangers Bay......so maybe Wilsons Prom?

[Lophophaps]

It's The Prom. I'm unsure of the name of the rock, but I think it's in the southern section, towards the lighthouse.

Do I take that to mean the puzzle is solved Lops (AKA Mr Cryptic )?

[Lophophaps]

Cryptic? Moi? Surely not. My legal background means that I deny everything, I was not there, the sheep can't talk. As I cannot recall any more details than The Prom southern section, Neil is next. Do try to be clear about things. Luckily, a lack of clarity is not transferrable by reading posts.

[neilmny]

Thank you Lops. This island is in Victoria.
The name of this Island please.

Norman Island Wilsons Prom.

[GregR]

That's it GregR take it away.

[GregR]

Thanks Neil,

The previous pic of the granite rocks id from the final walk up to the Prom Lighthouse- I was too slow to win that one. I know Norman Island well- I had a close encounter with a White pointer out there in 1981.

This next one should be easy. Its in Victoria . Day walk area close to Melbourne.

[johnw]

I haven't been there but research suggests the wire mesh bridge on the Pyrete Range, Lerderderg State Park. Possibly WW2 vintage.

John,
Your research is spot on! Just before you get to the Antimony Mine.

Over to you

Thank you Greg, I saw some references to the past mining activity.

NSW again:

Looking up towards the trig on South Rams Head, Kosciuszko NP via Dead Horse Gap NSW

[north-north-west]

Now that's a lovely angle, and a really moody image. Looks like the Ramsheads, but not sure which trig we're looking at.
