The place where I took this picture has quite an attraction for me.

I'll try and unearth another non-NSW one next time. But this is still NSW:

Absolutely gorgeous photo, johnw. Is it on the Horseshoe Falls loop?

Thank you ribuck. Not on the Horseshoe Falls loop though, this is in another gorge quite a long way from Govetts.

I may have passed Nick on the way here.

I'm just thinking aloud here. "Nicks Pass". The only "Nicks Pass" I know of is the one that leads to Thousand Man Cave, which is in a much drier area where there are no stone steps.

Your photo has a strong Blue Mountains feel, with all that water dripping. And if you told me those steps were built by the same team that built Furber Steps, I could believe it.

There's a set of unprotected steps at the bottom of the Old Point Pilcher Track, with lots of water around, but it's a while since I've been there and I can't remember what the bottom of it looks like. Anyway, Grand Canyon is hardly "quite a long way from Govetts".

Maybe we're on the other side of the highway. Perhaps it's one of the old unmaintained tracks south of Leura: Lindeman Pass, Gladstone Pass, etc.

Abandoned steps in a wet place with a big cliff to their left ... I'm struggling here.

I descended that Old Point Pilcher track about 18 months ago, a little hairy at one point.
Anyway, it does look somewhat like those old tracks but I'm not in the Blue Mountains.

The Illawarra Escarpment?

Not old Nick?

Getting closer, but no.

A more formal Nick will lead you to these falls. This time of year It could be Saint Nick, given the name of a creek gully a few kms NNE.

I concur.

yeah I also mostly stopped guessing because I only have photos from NSW to post.

+1 for a NSW game. I also avoid playing out of guilt that all mine are from NSW.

Honestly guys - you should not feel guilty about using NSW photos. Granted, photos of a stream or a funny rock outcrop can sit and stew for awhile, but it is just a game. I think given the interest it moves fast enough. Even I will put some NSW shots in.

But for a restart lets go with one from Vic which has been the subject of recent discussion

Upper part of Staircase Spur.

Yes NNW. Heading for Bogong for the night.

Yeah, I’m out unless it’s NSW...and even worse a very small part of NSW.

I gotta do more!
