Thats quite an impressive wound, I bet you got a nice little scar from that.
It looks like you are on Prion Beach with PB behind???
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

And of course, that happened just when there was a nice jagged rock at just the right height to stop you going any further . . .
I've had some nasty trips and slips, but never hurt the head. Yet. Usually end up banging my knees.

Anyway, back to the photo. Is that a beach I see behind you?

Yes it is, I was hoping someone who had been there and knows where I may have done it would have said, as it's a pretty dodgy area.
Coming down off PB thru the limstone caves that have alot of ferns overgrowing them just covering the holes nicely. BIG holes in the ground and I mean BIG! It's quite dodgy in places. I lost my feet down one and bang, limestone to the head.
AJscott (I think it was) on a trip thru there fell completey in one and dissapeared completely. The fellow in behind him got quite a shock.

I took a photo like this just to look at the wound, then I thought i'd take one with the culprit behind.

One of them looked big enough to fall a fair way in....... enough to make me give it a fairly wide berth.

Vertical access, eh? Too far to carry ropes and ladders. Bugger.

Need a lot of good weather to get that far around. A nice big yacht out from Catamaran would be easier, then paddle up New River Lagoon.

So many things to do and places to go, so little time (and money) . . .

My guess would be that you're looking straight at Stacks Bluff?

Otherwise it kind of reminds me of Mt Olympus (nothern summit) from somewhere north of Lake Onone (spelling).

From memory, the scree to the right of the pic is where you head up to the summit - if my memory is correct with it being Stacks Bluff!!

You are looking at Ragged Jack from the north.

Not High Moor - this site is far more spacious than there.
This site signifies the junction between 2 ranges...

I think it might be Mt Pillinger at the back.

Yes I knew I recognised that mountain in the background, the shot is taken at the outlet of Lake Helios, with the Northern edge of Mt Massif in the midground.
