That is granite!

But sadly, Mt blackwood/Macedon/You Yangs/Flinders peak are all not visible from this crag.

Yes, to being next to the AAWT. Not near Nobs. icefest is pretty close. In fact, close enough to pay it. This is near the top of the Barkly Jeep Track. Lovely place to spend a night.

Thanks Osik, planning to revisit WA in September after 44 years, for a wedding, borders permitting.
Hopefully extending the trip to have a good look around.

A few options in NSW but judging by the vegetation could be the wreck on Guouogang (sp?). Haven't been there yet.... something i should rectify now Kanangra has reopened and the fires have presumably defoliated the area somewhat.

Not Guouogang. This wreck is military.
