Blue rag range?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

And they aren't identical.

All yours WFBW - it's The Twins, looking from what I would call DeVito towards Schwatzenegger.

I was wondering where this photo was taken. Are you on Shrouded Gods Mountain looking across to Mount Owen of the right and Nibelung on your left

Hmmm, looks like I broke the game, so I will award it to crollsurf for the nearest guess. The photo was taken on the southern side of Mount Nibelung, looking south. “Bountiful gunmen shoot” is an anagram of “south of Mount Nibelung”.

Over to you, crollsurf.

An anagram is tricky to come up with. Where was I in NSW, when I took this photo?

Are you on the Mt tarn walking track where it loops off the scenic rim and there’s a lookout if sorts?

I want to say Folly Point with some zoom, but i don't remember any bluffs like that? Unless it's from further back along the FP track with (even more) zoom?

Otherwise.... Island Mountain?
