About 250km too far north!
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I did think it might be in that area, but still not sure where/what the gorge is?

It's not in the National Park, the canyon runs into another creek which also isn't named on the maps but does have a name. It's known as "East ... Creek". I carn't say more than that ATM.

East straight creek? What a imaginative name
Someone should jump into OSM and change these unofficial names to some thing better..
Crollsurf's ditch..
Wild wanderer's waterway

Yes Keith. I found this among my photos of a walk along the Fortress Ridge track. Almost every other shot was looking down Govett Gorge.
Essentially looking up Fortress Creek with a background profile of the Lockley Pylon track from The Pinnacles.
