Correct over to you Chief

Don't have alot of scenic photos so i'm sure this will be pretty easy for you all.

What am i looking at and where was it taken from?

Kedumba Valley and Kings Tableland from Mt Solitary with L Burragorang in the distance?

That is nearly the same picture as on the cover of "Walking in the Budawangs" by Ron Doughton: Byangee Walls & Pigeon House from The Castle

Thats right johnw.
Photo taken at the "col" on Mt. Solitary.

Where is it (the spot that I'm standing). Clues: It's in NSW. Maybe a bit of a theme going today?

Thats from the summit of pigeon house mountain?

Yes, indeed it is. Your turn mountnman.

This is in NSW too

Looking down into the Shoalhaven River Gorge from Long Point.

Very good - your turn

I just thought i might point out to people that quite a few of the pics have the file name at the bottom that actually name the picture location ... now i know that we are trying to make it easy but that might be a tad too easy ! (i'm assuming that other people could see those names as well?) i do enjoy looking at the pictures though and puzzling over the ones i dont know

I think you'll find that when photos are first added, they do not have location captions, and after the image has been successfully guessed, the poster goes back and names the photo.
See HERE
Specifically,

When the Photographer's turn ends, either because a winner has been found or by defaulting, the photographer should add the correct answer as a caption to the photo he/she posted (see 'Adding a Caption' this page) OR, by clearly posting the answer in the post that confirms the winner.

Thanks for that Adam, the same question was raised in the Tassie game recently, so I guess newer members may not be aware of it.

Next one. I think NSW may be dominating a bit, let's switch to QLD this time. Should be pretty easy so I'd like the name both of these. Bonus point if you can provide both official and common name/s. Another bonus point if you can name the peak I'm standing on.

Darnit! just realized the game was afoot and I knew some of those!

northern nsw, mount warning area...

I don't think it's mount Warning - too tall, and there's no peak like that behind it, but gee the area looks similar.

glass house mountains - beewah?

I think doogs means Beerwah (in the distance). Crookneck is the closest and you are standing on Ngungun. I think the real name for Crookneck is Coonorwin.

I have to give it to isoma as the first complete and accurate answer. Yes, the peaks are Mt Coonowrin (Crookneck) in the foreground with Mt Beerwah behind and I'm standing on Mt Ngungun (or Ngun Ngun).

ILUVSWTAS I'm fairly sure Crookneck can't be climbed safely without ropes. One of the climbers around here might know better. I believe it was closed to (legal) climbing around 1999 due safety and stability concerns.

isoma your turn.

Thought it was in NSW - read Julie read!

ILUV and johnw - Crookneck can be climbed without ropes, though these days the peak is "closed" due to concerns about its stability. There are (were) quite a few roped climbs as well.

OK next one then.

This isn't a QLD photo btw.

NSW?

a bit further west juju

It's in the Stirling Range north of Albany. Taken from the car park. Bluff Knoll.

This game makes me want to go places...

Me too.

To complete a photo of a landmark in each of the states and territories we still need a photo from SA, NT and ACT.

Tony

Tony,

calm down - we are only on page 2! There will be plenty more to come.
Though I might leave the ACT photos to you.

I don't remember those facilities at Bluff Knoll, but I was there 27 years ago...
