Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[Tyreless]

The clues tell me you are at the Lost World lookout overlooking Glenbrook Creek. The date 25/7/53 is on the memorial cross to Rev. Dr. G E Raymer at the lookout (see attached plaque on the opposite side of the valley).

Correct Tyreless. I had forgotten about the plaque at Martins Lookout opposite, where we started our walk, heading out to St Helena Crater and back on this occasion.
A more commonly photographed view at Lost World:

Memorial to Rev. Brother G.E. Raymer at Lost World Lookout, Blue Labyrinth, Blue Mountains NP via Springwood NSW

Over to you.

[Tyreless]

Still in NSW, where is this memorial?

Bellbird Point, looking over the wild dogs

Correct!

[jonnosan]

Thanks Tyreless
I finally got out of the blue mountains for a bit - where in ACT is this?

Big Monks seen from Roby Roy Link Track, ACT

[johnw]

Is it Big Monks?

[jonnosan]

Is it Big Monks?

Yes it is!

[johnw]

Is it Big Monks?

Yes it is!

Thanks jonnosan. We're spending the Xmas/New Year break in Canberra, hopefully I'll explore a bit more of Namadgi but might add this as well.

Let's stay in the ACT, what track or feature am I on:

Shanahans mountain?

Not Shanahans but you're not far away.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Could be yerrabi track?

It certainly is. I'm probably looking towards Shanahans Mountain off to the right.

Sticking with the ACT theme:

Pierces Creek Falls?

Pierces Creek Falls?

Yep

Didn't realise the ACT had so many waterfalls, I'll have to investigate some.

I'll keep the ACT theme going:

Mt Tennent, Namadgi NP via Tharwa ACT

Most except Gibraltar require a fair bit of off-track to get to.

Are you looking up at Mt Tennant?

Are you looking up at Mt Tennant?

Yep, from across the road outside the visitor centre.
I'll be down there next week but I don't think my dodgy knee is up to climbing that big lump.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

ACT again then...

Are you on Mt Tennent looking west? I haven't been up there but maybe looking towards Deadmans Hill, Booroomba Rocks and Blue Gum Hill?

Correct on all counts

It looks worth going up there but I still don't think my knee would handle it well.

I'll have to break the cycle, running short on ACT photos until I get back there.
What peak is this? Bonus point for my location (another peak), NSW:

Overlooking Mt Moollattoo from Mt Carrialoo, Morton NP via Kangaroo Valley NSW

[johnw]

I'm in a large NP of around 2,000 sq/km. Despite staring out into the wilderness I'm about 9 km from a well known and visited small tourist town with a famous bridge.
The peak I'm looking at is about 2 km from the one I'm standing on. My walk up here started on a steep trail, branched off on a narrow footpad, then a steep scramble to the plateau.
Off track across the top to the summit trig and a bit further to the western escarpment for this view.

[ribuck]

Those are good clues! I'm not posting a guess because I don't have time to play just now, but I'll just say that you're standing in a place named after the fact that you had to bring your own toilet.

A pity you aren't playing ribuck, you obviously know the answer. I pity anyone who tries to lug a porta _-_-_ up here.
A number of "oo"s going on between these two peaks.

[jonnosan]

well I spent a bit of time on Google and a toppo, am pretty sure the ~2000km/sq NP is Morton, which makes the town with the bridges Kangaroo Valley, which makes the peak Ribuck made the pun about Carrialoo, which makes the peak in the picture Mt Moollattoo.

phew!

Well done jonnosan, correct on all counts. On Mt Carrialoo looking across to Mt Moollattoo. A really nice walk via McPhail's trail.
Or it used to be, I haven't walked down that way for some years and the 2019/20 fires may have impacted the area.
But there are some good options around there.

[jonnosan]

thanks Johnw does look an interesting area

I can only offer more from NSW, so for a bit of variety - what feature has been blacked out in this photo?

Cox's River below a blacked-out Bowtell's Swing Bridge
