Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

That's the one Lops. I'm a couple of km east of Grey Mare Hut so that would be Ghost Hill right of center with Valentine Falls and the Geehi down the valley.

Thanks. I would have guessed the Tumut and when that was not the answer I thought of the creeks near Grey Mare Hut. I've been down Valentine falls and up the vally in the pic, a very nice walk, but the descent by the falls is now overgrown.

The pic below is in Victoria. The name of the pic is totally incorrect, but I cannot help that. I'm still getting used to Windows XP and renaming files. I'm okay with DOS 6.

You're standing beside the Mt Bogong cairn, I reckon.

Correct.

A very colourful sunrise on a recent Victorian trip - where am I ? (yeah, I know - the game is "where it it" but I think "where am I" will be easier for this one - but either will do :)

Time for a hint ??

I'm on the peak of a named mountain, west of a N-S line through Melbourne. Here's a close-up of the skyline :

Are you looking at Major Mitchell Plateau from the Serra Range?

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

Mon 08 Apr, 2019 5:38 pm

No, not MMP. There is a tower on Mt William but this isn't it.

I'm north of a line drawn between Mt William and Melbourne.

I do not have a map and the online maps are rubbish. Langi Ghiran, Ben Nevis or therebouts to Mount Cole, which has a big tower.

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

One of them's a possibility. I'm not even bothering to consult a map, because there's so little evidence to go on -- for me, at least. (And I thought I'd put up some cryptic or obscure items.)

But how about Mt Wycheproof, supposedly "the lowest mountain on the planet"?

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

In the correct area, Lop. It is, indeed the Mt Cole tower (distinctive if you know it).

So, given I'm on a named peak and I'm looking East for the sunrise. .....

One Tree Hill Pioneer Lookout?

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

Tue 09 Apr, 2019 9:09 am

No, not in the Grampians. You were close with the original your second guesses.

edit : oops, that might have been a little misleading - sorry Lop.

"600,000 walkers visit this place annually."

That's 1,600 daily. Codswallop. But it's v.v popular.

I expect this could be Waterfall Gully to Mt Lofty but which falls? First and third?

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

Sun 14 Apr, 2019 10:29 am

Sixth with the bloke and Fourth Falls on their own. Ten km's from the GPO.

Your go John.
