Not a lot of flow on this occasion. Often visited along with a number of nearby falls (as I did).

You're in the general area but I'm on the other side of the highway.

The clue seems to indicate something on the north Lawson falls loop but can't place which one. Dante's Glen perhaps?

Both are not far away, but I'm not on that loop.

You're very close and heading in the right direction, but I'm not on the Burgess loop.

Got there. Edith Falls it is, albeit in drought. Nice little circuit, as are Burgess and Empire Pass/Dantes Glan.
Given me an idea to do all three in a day at some point when they're in full flow.

We didn't make it all the way around to Byatts Camp but yes it's from the track running down Wilkinson's creek below Abbot ridge.

I'm thinking this could be from one of your favourites, Devils Peak.

It looked familiar, though I've never been there :).

The foreground features are almost a miniaturised version of what you might see on a much larger scale around here.

Looks a lot like Mt Terrible, but it could also be Chimneys.

Not that part of the world this time NNW, this is a long way north of there.
I was in KNP recently though and managed to really stuff my previously injured and surgically repaired left knee on a long day walk :roll:.

Yes that will do it crollsurf. Pretty much around Grand High Tops lookout. Great circuit.
That is Bluff Mountain outlined in the mist. Over to you.

Thanks johnw, I had planned to walk out that way last year but my knee (left like yours) decided to pack it in. Hoping this winter, I'll finally get there.
More NSW. More NSW. I'm at a campground but the name of the lake will be good enough

Why is it always the left knee? Mine currently being relatively compliant, but it's always there, waiting for the perfect moment to screw up a good walk ...

Maybe we should start the Left Knee Club.

For the photo, I'll take a stab with Myall Lake.
