Ahh yes, that rise on the right does look very whichever-Fainter-is-furthest-from-Jaithmatung-ish.

I’m not sure if it’s Buffalo in the background, but I know it’s not the Razorback.

Yeh I thought it might be from between fainter north (on the right) and fainter, but I guess not

Could be bogong, with some zoom? But that's probably more north east?

Yes, that's correct. Quartz Ridge, with west peak just out of view on the right.

The route up to the summit from Eskdale, is what I should have written. I.e. yeah, pretty much.

Which Victorian NP is this one in? And perhaps you could name the spot where the photograph was taken?

Osik, it is Wyperfeld NP. The photograph was taken at Kelley Lookout.

It was in this area that I saw a lot of Asphodelus fistulous. Rather pretty, but it is a weed.

Thanks peregrinator & sorry all about slow reply - has been a massive week.

Moving northwards to NSW, name the feature I'm currently standing in

I'm thinking it's a spot up Narrabri way. I haven't been there, but it's definitely on the to do list. I won't say my answer because I don't have time to play currently.

Thanks Osik. It looks a good spot to visit.

A bit outside the usual for me, let's visit WA:

Clue time. I am a couple of kms from one end of a long distance walking track.
The feature in the centre background is named, quite sweetly.

Fairly big coastline to work with in WA.

Next one - a zoom shot in Victoria
What are these folk near?
Bonus for where I am.

I was about to say, what folk, until I zoomed in. I think this is Victoria Arch in the Grampians.
I haven't been there but I'll guess from the map you could be on Mt Thackeray?

It has featured in the photo comp under the title Hole in the Wall - but I see someone has documented it as a walk to Victoria Arch.
It is in the Victoria Range and no - were not on Mt Thakery [cannot see the hole from there], but near our under cliff campsite a little east from The Fortress.
