I can’t see too much distinctive that I recognise, but is it from Flinders Peak?

Not Flinders Peak. I'm SW of that area, maybe an hours drive. I'm near a body of water.

Repeating image for new page. What peak am I on in QLD?

After zooming in I decided to search on "Shipwreck Beach" and came up with Ethel Wreck Beach on the Yorke Peninsula.
Are those your footprints in the sand eggs?

I don't remember John.
Its a tourist spot.
I was determined to go off track south from there - hence this photo.
Innes National Park - Ethel Wreck Beach
I was told when I was little kid with mum up top, a king wave came in and covered this entire beach and part way up the slope.
My brother was lucky to have been picked up and taken up in time.

It is Bungonia Creek so I assume you are correct with the name.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was the same feature from this angle. If so I posted a photo of it previously and believed it to be the "Devil's Pulpit".
But it definitely resembled something else in that shot:
https://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6027&p=430191&hilit=bungonia+creek#p430183

Anyway next. What feature am I on in NSW:

Assuming Mt Waratah in the Nattai area near Mittagong. Not there, a little closer but still a long way off.

Ah yeah I reckon Bushwalker is in view (and if so, that's the right answer), behind Gadara pt and that little hill on the way out to Talaterang... maybe it's taken from somewhere on Talaterang?

Same. Bushwalker/Tallaterang looks right for the rocks in the foreground, I think you have nailed it WFBW. One thing for sure: I wish I was there right now!
