Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[johnw]

Many tourists walk past this every day.

[jonnosan]

Is it in the old miners village below Scenic World (Katoomba)?

Is it in the old miners village below Scenic World (Katoomba)?

Yes in that vicinity, just off the walkway. I thought it had something to do with the collapsed aerial ropeway but those shale buckets are quite different.
I'm not sure what this is but curious if anyone knows. It looks like a boiler but has the fittings for ropeway use.
For now I'm just calling a it a mining relic. All yours jonnosan.

[jonnosan]

Thanks Johnw

Just to prove I did once visit Vic...

[Drummo62]

Finally one I think I know - Dibbins Hut AKA Creep Inn?

[jonnosan]

Yes thats the one. Over to u Drummo62

[Drummo62]

I think that lintel is permanently imprinted on my forehead!

Still in Victoria.

The Crinoline?

[Lophophaps]

Grampians, Serra Range. I cannot identify the peak. However ... it may be just behind Halls Gap looking south.

[Drummo62]

Not the Crinoline John

Right Park, range and also looking south Lops but I need a peak name

[Tyreless]

Mount Lubra?

[eggs]

Twin Peak from Warrinaburb?
PS - see Lubra and Warrinuburb are the same place so SNAP

[Drummo62]

Eggs has it. A nice off track hike to do both peaks in a day.

[eggs]

I believe Tyreless should get it - as Lubra was the older name for Warrinuburb

[Drummo62]

Answer I was looking for was Twin Peak but I was on the shoulder of Lubra/Warrinuburb when I took the photo. Should've been clearer when I posted the photo sorry.
Take it away Tyreless

[Tyreless]

This game is "Where is it", not "Where am I". So it's Twin Peak and I reckon eggs should have it. Twin Peak would have been my next guess.

(On condition that he posts a photo in NSW, hee hee)

[eggs]

Okay..............

What mountain(s) in NSW am I looking at, from where in Vic?

[eggs]

This one is really not hard. Think maximums

[johnw]

The where-is-it is easy, you're looking at the Main Range in NSW Snowy Mtns. Going by the clue - from Mt Bogong?

[eggs]

Yes John. This is from Bogong - Kosci and the Ramsheads in view.

[johnw]

Yes John. This is from Bogong - Kosci and the Ramsheads in view.

Thanks eggs, I know those in distant view well. Much of the Vic. high country still to be explored, which I'll get to eventually.

Keeping with regional integrity, what am I climbing in NSW?

Approaching the Southerly Rams Head via the Dead Horse Gap route, Kosciuskzo NP via Thredbo NSW

Not North Rams Head.

[johnw]

Not North Rams Head.

Though it's not too far away. I can usually walk to NRH from here in around 90 minutes, maybe less if quick.
I'm heading for the trig just visible top right-ish in the image.

[Tyreless]

Perhaps Mt Stilwell?

[johnw]

Perhaps Mt Stilwell?

Not Stillwell, getting colder.

[Tyreless]

Maybe southerly rams head (ie: the higher of the two spots marked on some maps as south rams head).

[johnw]

Yes correct Tyreless. Approaching the Southerly Rams Head via the Dead Horse Gap route.

[Tyreless]

Thanks John. I camped there on New Years Day 2017, one day after jonnosan had been there. As far as I know it is the closest we have been to crossing paths.

NSW...

Mount Townsend from Abbott Peak

I reckon many of us have probably crossed paths or nearly so without knowing.

Looks like Townsend from Abbott Peak.
