Are you on Boggy Plain next the Thredbo River crossing, with Mount Terrible off in the distance?

I'm not near the ford/crossing point but you're in the right area. I'm a fair distance away, maybe 60 to 90 mins walk.
Mount Terrible is quite close.

Correct, Teddy's Hut is a few hundred metres off to my left.
Pretty sure that's the lower slopes of Mt Terrible on the right.
Probably Moonbah Mtn in the distance.

None if the above,

I’ll see if a couple more guesses come through and if not I’ll throw a clue out.

No more takers?

This place is North/East of Yalwal and to be there you should probably be authorised to enter. Unless you have the Scarlet Pimpernel to spring you!

I still have no idea, but going by the clues maybe Coolendel?
Don't know where the Scarlet Pimpernel comes in though.
