Hehe - those darn termites again, gnawing holes in the sandstone! Yes Jonnosan, you nailed it first shot, it is indeed the Sharks Head Cave near Springwood. Over to you.

Yes jonnosan. My next clue was going to hint at the Lindeman Pass start. Officially they are Leura Falls I believe although maybe a bit ambiguous.
SIX Maps has Leura Falls and Second Falls next to each other. Geo Names Board has:

Leura Falls: "Waterfall on Leura Falls Creek about 1.6 km south south west of Leura Railway Station
GDA2020 Lat33°43'54.3"S GDA2020 Long150°19'04.2"E"


Second Falls: "Falls located on Leura Falls Creek being the second part of the Leura Falls. Situated about 2 1/2 km NW of Sublime Point and about 2 km N by E of The Three Sisters.
GDA2020 Lat33°42'54.3"S GDA2020 Long150°19'04.2"E"


So both at the same location. Jim Smith's Lindeman Pass book has a wonderful historic photo of them on the front cover, obviously pre-sewage works etc.
A bit dry in my shot here, I've taken better photos of them in flood.

Well another spot I know where it is, but didnt actually know the name of. Pretty sure that's the sandstone bridge that you can see from the train between lapstone and emu plans. According to Google it seems to be called Knapsack Bridge?

Yes, that's the one jonnosan. Knapsack Viaduct, which dates back to ~1865. It was part of the Lapstone Zig Zag that early trains used to ascend into the mountains.
Some interesting short walks around there related to railway history, which can be combined with more remote tracks in the national park around Glenbrook.

thanks john. From memory there was also a track that was basically built to access rich persons holiday house as well?

Yet another NSW one - but to make at least a bit of a variation, and inspired by GregG's recent digital concealment - what is hiding behind the purple strip in this photo?

I should have said destroyed again. I think I've only visited the hut once, which may have been pre-2003 fires.

Still NSW, what feature am I on?
