Yeah, I was moving at good pace through that section actually SBS.....and all the way through to New Pelion Hut too; slowed up significantly on my way to Pelion Gap and then summiting that day though :D

Looks like you could be at the Gordon River crossing en route to lake Rhona SBS?
...tho all rivers do look similar so I could be wrong?

I agree with ILUVSWTAS, saw this pic earlier but didn't have time to post.
Definitely has a Styx R. feel to it, from my one visit.

Not the Styx.
Has a MAJOR walking track crossing it some 50-odd metres beyond the log(which has been there at least 3 years) and there is a MAJOR feature 50-odd metres behind me.....

Could this be the Mersey? Near Hartnett Falls - although I don't tend to think of the track through the Never Never as major..

Indeed, not the Mersey - this spot is within 20 mins of a hot chocolate, cold beer.......

Close enough - Hugel River between the bridge at Watersmeet and the lake - thought the log would give it away - I've been to this spot a few times - good way to get away from the crowds when spending time up there,

Not the Pieman River.
A hint. The mountain is worth above average peak bagging points.

That was my initial thought Jared, I just cant place the mtn though, it surely not PB?? Could be the Ironbound but where on earth is he coming from or going.... provis hills?? hehehe

Still, The Ironbounds are worth 3 pts, more than average so you may be right

A bit of a wild guess as I have not been there.
But could the peak be a view of Pindars (with the main peak obscured) from South Cape Rivulet?

The water has the same name as the mountain.
