I don't know the area but going on the clues and some map searching I'll try Perryman Falls on Cinch Creek in Ettrema Wilderness.

Some current discussion on these forums over the weekend and recently concerning the immediate area near these falls.

I did think it was in Greaves Ck.... but compared my photos of similar falls & wasn't 100% sure.... and didn't know the name of the falls anyway.

That looks like it to me Keith. Yes, on Greaves Creek near Beauchamp Falls. I believe these are Popes Falls, based on a link from the Rodriguez Pass thread and confirmed via a Dave Noble trip report on his blog. They may be in the Blue Mountains Geographical Encyclopaedia but I haven't got around to having a look. Anyway you know where it is, over to you.

I'm yet to go up sentry box so it didn't immediately jump out at me. This is in NSW:

Corang Cascades? If I’m right then johnw can go - I actually first thought it was Emerald Pool.

More or less. "Corang cascades" loosely describes the cascades upstream (aka the rock ribs) and downstream from the lagoon. This is downstream... the lower-most cascade known informally as Twin Falls.

Johnw should go next. Even knowing approximately where it was, I was thinking of the upstream cascades and pool.

Very generous Tyreless, thank you. I haven't been there so relied on research. Interestingly I found all of Corang Cascades, Rock Ribs and Twin Falls but dismissed them as I couldn't find any images matching (near enough to) the game photo.
This is a "where am I?", NSW:
- On Didthul/Pigeon House Mountain, Morton NP via Milton/Ulladulla NSW
