Bushwalk Australia

Hoping someone else might jump in but it's very slow. I still haven't managed to do this walk.
I believe it will be Kahlpahlim Rock (aka Lambs Head) in the Atherton Tableland.

That's right John. Magnificent granite.
I might get to do something up that way this week.

Nice, I'm sure we'll be back there again but no firm plans right now.

I'll push my luck with another one from QLD:

: Fitzroy Island Lighthouse from the island summit - Fitzroy Island NP via Cairns FNQ

would that be Fitzroy Island lighthouse...

Yes it would, viewed from the summit. A nice loop track takes you up here then back down via a side trip to the lighthouse (optional).

Thanks , Google really is my friend.
This one's in SA

Not sure that it is ....

by **GregR** » Wed 30 Oct, 2019 1:58 pm

2nd try with a smaller picture

by **GregR** » Wed 30 Oct, 2019 2:10 pm

Hope your happy now Eggs. I'm only giving you half an hour to work this one out.

by **GregR** » Thu 31 Oct, 2019 8:49 am

OK- Time for a clue or 2.

This is a lookout on the way across a remarkable park. Found it a I left the east side of the park with its crocadillian ravine and was going to the West side to find a hidden ravine.

No takers??
Hancock’s Lookout

You've known all along Brian. Why torture me like this?? I'm trying to go away and thought no one was going to jump in. Phew.

Over to eggs

by **eggs** » Fri 01 Nov, 2019 4:09 pm

Well yes.

But others need time to play

This is in Qld

: Mt Coonowrin

by **GregR** » Sat 02 Nov, 2019 12:53 pm

Looks very Glasshouse Mountainish to me. So as a WAG I'd say Mt Coonowrin.

Correct Greg

by **GregR** » Sat 02 Nov, 2019 2:31 pm

Dammit. Hoping I was wrong. This one's in SA last month.Just crossed this river and did not get wet feet!!!

by **GregR** » Mon 04 Nov, 2019 5:04 pm

No takers I see. Hint: it's on an island wilderness walk. Take a punt and you're sure to arrive at the answer.

by **peregrinator** » Mon 04 Nov, 2019 5:16 pm

That'd be the South West River crossing, Kangaroo Island. Thanks for the EXPLICIT HINT.

by **GregR** » Mon 04 Nov, 2019 6:21 pm

My pleasure .

Where is this track leading? Victoria.

by **GregR** » Tue 05 Nov, 2019 4:09 pm

Up Mt sterling from telephone box junction

by **peregrinator** » Tue 05 Nov, 2019 7:17 pm

Similar sort of country. But this spot is about 200 m higher in altitude and about 100 km ENE.

And that extra elevation of course makes this spot more useful for Skiing.

by **peregrinator** » Wed 06 Nov, 2019 7:47 pm

It would be a longish drive from Melbourne to go skiing at this location. Stirling, Buller and so on are obviously easier to access. But what if you were driving from rural parts? For example, a town that experienced a massive upheaval due to a wet event (a gradual and not sudden one) that had nothing to do with snow?

Sorry, when my clues take up three lines, I do realise that need to choose more obvious locations!

by **GregR** » Wed 06 Nov, 2019 8:20 pm

Assuming Tallangatta experienced a very long immersion event and working off 100kms ENE I can only conclude Burrowa- Pine Mountain area.

by **GregR** » Wed 06 Nov, 2019 8:50 pm

Which doesn't make sense regarding your clue on elevation. So I'm now thinking Hollow Hut Eskdale Spur track.

by **peregrinator** » Wed 06 Nov, 2019 9:06 pm

GregR, this has got a bit convoluted, but the 100 km distance and the 200 m elevation was in relation your first reply, Telephone Box Junction. Not Tallangatta, which you correctly identify as the flooded town I was hinting at.

by **peregrinator** » Thu 07 Nov, 2019 7:12 am

Just to clarify, I hope.

All I was saying (and stating the bleeding obvious) was that getting to this spot to go skiing would be a long trip from Melbourne, but it’s a lesser distance from, e.g., Albury, Bairnsdale, Cudgewa . . .

Re-checking my measurement of the distance, I’d change that to about 95 km.

by **Tyreless** » Thu 07 Nov, 2019 7:57 am

Clueless guess based on the clues... Mt Wills?

by **peregrinator** » Thu 07 Nov, 2019 8:05 am

Very close.
