I was getting some deja vu vibes - Crooked Falls.

Ah woops, there's every chance this is a repost as a) I'm running out of photos (need to get out more), b) it's one of my favourite spots and c) I have a memory like a sieve.

Crooked falls is correct.

Crooked falls is correct.

Thanks. I'd like a dollar for every repost I've done for the same reasons :). And most places are worth revisiting anyway.
Definitely need to get out more after much downtime the past couple of years.

A fairly recent one from the ACT:

Looks like the big boulder in Middle Creek as you walk into Big Creamy Flats to climb Mount Namadgi.

No, much less adventurous. Right general part of the world but maybe 25 kms away.

Are you up the back of Tidbinbilla reserve? Hanging Rock?

Not Blue Mountains. Pretty much due south and about four hours drive from there.

Most of the big trees I've seen are in Tassie. I must have driven through this area dozens of times unaware that this tree is there.
Old Blotchy, Murramarang National Park, Termeil?

Old Blotchy is it! Just south of Termeil. A big old beautiful tree.

There are two named features out of view. One is natural and is closest to me.
The other is man made.

Is it Abbott Peak from Kosi?

Lake Cootapatamba and the hut?

Yes, looking west-ish from the walkway. The hut is just out of shot on the left on that sandy bit.
The lake is a little further back on the right.

Not sure, but I'll have a guess anyway given this welcome (for me) departure from NSW subjects!

The approach to Mt Howitt from Magdala?

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

Mon 22 Apr, 2024 11:03 pm

Yes. Mt Howitt.

I walked up there a few decades ago. One of my first alpine trips. Thank you GBW, your photograph reactivated memories.

Here's another VIC pic:

"Bukkertillible" means "cave" according to some comments. So your answer is tautological. The shot is on the Bukkertillible circuit walk in Buangor Sate Park, taken at one section of this beautiful rock-face. Not a section which has a slight recess that some might describe as at least cave-like.

OK. This is a "where am I?", one of very few photos I have from VIC:
