Re-posting the image to appear on the current page.

Some more visual relief from the heat.

Not Crackenback. There is a named water feature just downhill in the small valley behind him.

Could be a fortune down there at the end of it.

Sadly not. Only 11 hrs by foot to get to my spot from there tho according to google maps.
But as this crow nearby will attest it's quite close by crow
Close but no cigar!

Looks like a raven to me. So I'll rave on a bit and wonder whether you were in the Wonderland area?

This particular spot has a very specific name ( and yes it is in the Wonderland area)
The Raven was at the Pinnacle but my photo is from a spot 5 minutes before you get there.

Greg, thanks for the clue. That would be the Nerve Test. The area looked familiar.

The Nerve test or the Leap if faith I've heard it called both.

Over to you.

Don't quite trust that Faith stuff. In the Victorian rural town of Dimboola there are three contiguous streets -- Hope St, Faith St, and Cemetery Rd.

But, hopefully, as they say, someone can identify the location of this shot from Victoria. Here's a clue from the outset, given the nature of its content. This is on the AAWT. The question is -- at what particular bit of that 660 km stroll will you see this?

If you're doing a big haul on the AAWT heading north, you pass Big Hill, cross Big River, before getting to . . .

. . . a Big lunch at the picnic tables. Sorry, that may not be available. There were no hospitality staff on duty when I passed through. Probably best to BYO.

. . . BigKev? Yes, he did pass through here a while ago, as I read on his most enjoyable report. But the answer I'm after is . . .

Perchance, 'twas ever thus: Big River Saddle. At the base of the climb up to Mt Wills.

Hence, it's myself consigning this back to thyself.
