Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[north-north-west]

Cleft Peak from Cobberas One, or maybe even from Middle, depending on the zoom . . .

Yes, north-north-west, from Cobberas No. 1, plus The Pilot and the distant Snowy Mountains.

[north-north-west]

My camera & favourite lens died up there, after the clip on the bag strap broke . . . ohhh, the memories . . .

OK, name the ACT peak in view:

On the far horizon .... Tidbinbilla Peak? Although the summit of Kelly (from some locations) looks like a peak.

[north-north-west]

You're in the right area by mentioning Kelly - which I climbed the previous day - but otherwise no.

[WarrenH]

I named Tidbinbilla Peak on the far horizon. You didn't say which peak.

The mountain closest, in your shot, I didn't name, I just mentioned that Mount Kelly from some locations is peak like.

Warren.

[north-north-west]

Ok then, to specify, name the nearest peak in view. Is that sufficiently precise for you?

[WarrenH]

I gave you an answer. Thank you for changing the goal posts.

Warren.

[north-north-west]

In that case - looking at the maps, no the peak in the distance isn't Tidbinbilla. So can we now concentrate on the nearer of the two?

I hate it when mum and dad fight...

Are you looking at Namadgi from Burbury?

[north-north-west]

Please, I have more sense and taste than that.

Yes, Namadgi it is, from Burbidge. Take it away, fatso.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

OK thanks. Where (in NSW) is this from?

OK thanks. Where (in NSW) is this from?

You are on Ironpot Mountain in the vicinity of the aboriginal grinding grooves.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Yep, just near the ironmonger spur track junction. All yours.

Damn, John wins the quick-draw prize there....

Thanks. Sorry Mister G, I recognised that one as soon as I saw it .

What am I descending to in NSW?

Descending to Guthega Dam from Mt Tate via Tate East Ridge, Kosciuszko NP NSW

Guthega

Yep, Guthega Dam specifically. Coming down from Mt Tate/Tate East Ridge. Your turn.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Thanks. Where's this? (NSW)

Well, it's a canyon, but it doesn't look like sandstone. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Reedy Creek Gorge in Deua...

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Yep sure is. I figured once the Blue Mtns were ruled out it'd just be a process of elimination (for those that haven't been there, otherwise it's pretty recognizable)... but you guessed it straight away Over to you.

[tom_brennan]

Thanks, I had a fair few photos from when we were there and some looked like they matched.

Next one should be an easy one - from NSW. Where are we?

Shooting fish in a barrel, but I'll wait to see if anyone else would like to answer this splendid view.

[icefest]

Especially as the photo has been posted before.... :p

[tom_brennan]

Don't think I've posted this before, sorry if I have?

[johnw]

Don't think I've posted this before, sorry if I have?

I don't believe you have Tom. I think icefest is just generally referring to it having been posted previously (looks like twice, and both times by me ). In any case I don't believe the rules say that the same location can't appear more than once. And I'm finding it difficult to come up with previously unseen locations. Either I need to find different places to walk, or stop playing.

[icefest]

I mean you've posted it in your blog (which I've read) so I feel dishonest saying where it is.

[tom_brennan]

Ah, well, unfortunately almost every photo that I have easy access to is on my website. Occasionally I get a trip where I haven't yet put it up and can post a Where-Am-I. But most of the time I'm stuck.

Though I'm impressed you remember it ... I thought I was safer going with something from a while ago!

[DaveNoble]

Well to close this discussion - I will say the picture is of Splendour Rock in the Wild Dog Mts.

Dave

[tom_brennan]

It is definitely Splendour Rock, which does live up to its name with its views of the High Gangerangs. Over to you Dave
