There's not many places that Hanging Rock points straight at.

I hope this NSW one proves easy - I'm away shortly.

Thanks Keith. When was that taken btw?
My son was camping up there last night, but I can't imagine there would be much, if any, snow left in Wilkinsons Valley by now.

I'll try something a bit different, WA:

I'll be visiting Rottnest in a couple of months, not there.

Correct - the now shortened Port Germein jetty - which was for awhile the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere.

Yep Icefest.

I was about 100m away from the hut when I snapped that late afternoon shot of the Razorback.

Hundreds of us know the answer, but no-one is posting. Many of the regulars are running out of photos to post!

Anyway, I'll throw caution to the wind.

That's what I suspected ribuck. You can always post something more than once, in fact I posted a similar shot probably a few years back.
Some things are worth a second run. You are correct of course, over to you.

This is not Kanabgra Boyd NP. Roughly the same geological layer as Coal Seam Cave though.

Wondering if it's in the Jamison Valley. Kinda reminds me of one of the spots on the National Pass before they did all the upgrade work (and subsequent closure).
