My wild guess would be somewhere at the opposite side of the state. Maybe Menindee?

Is that the Cobberas?

Are you looking at Cleft Peak, from just north of the cobberas?

Yes - looks very similar to Breakaways - but I notice a track down the gully.
We were there 2 weeks ago but not long enough to see what tracks were around.

It does look very similar to the breakaways, but this is just about 100km away,

This is a series of hills in an artistic desert

Close enough, Painted desert / Arckaringa Hills, it's a bit of a detour from the Kembla road, but worth it.

Very generous. I looked at both and decided to go with the one that had the word "hills" rather than "desert". Consequently went the wrong way :roll:.

NSW, what feature am I on here?
