looks like the game has stalled... as the only person who's made a guess, Walk_fat boy_walk, maybe you can have first shot at posting a new photo.

Was it moroka?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Looks like NNW is on a trip. She has left 2 games in limbo.

For the record everyone, it was Moroka and I'm sorry for leaving you high and dry. Butt it was worth it. Had a great time.

Time for a clue. Part of a much larger historic site near a "ghost" town.
Like the previous photo they refined something here, but it wasn't gold.
Well at least what they produced wasn't in a solid form.

At which location? There is more than one. I visited on an overnight walk from the previous guess.

We started from Newnes campground which is not far from those ruins, but this location is about 11 km and roughly a 4 hour walk away.

ACT. Either the peak on the horizon or the mountain we're descending.

Looking for some rock in keeping with the recent theme, I found this. If you squint hard enough you'll see a trig marker on the highest point. (The actual highest location is the lump on the right, not the left. My editing software wasn't working properly, so I could not make the required adjustment.) What is the name of this Victorian feature?
