No, not Walls but not too far away.

Lynchford, next to ABT railway line, where those travelling on the train can do a bit of gold panning. How recent is this photo eggs?

It's been very long time since I've been there, but my first thought was that that shack is Murrell's Hideaway on Maria Island. (Not that that's it's official name.) At the Darlington end, south of the jetty. Assuming that the jetty is still in the same place . . .
But probably not.

Zoom in on the photo. Its a viewing platform - I wonder what would wander along this beach that is worth watching?

Not Hawley Beach, but you are closer than Lillico Beach was to the correct location.

You have got it walkabout!
The tiny beach doesn't appear to have a name and on the 1:25,000 Listmap is situated between Dotterel Point and Low Head. Details of the tours are here http://penguintours.lowhead.com/

That looks like Promontory Lake? Surely not, it would take a chopper to get back that quickly. Unless you're still out there somewhere . . .

No, that's definitely Promontory. Carina on the left edge of the Aurora with the ridge running down to it from Scorpio. I have daytime shot from almost the exact same spot.
But walking out from there in a day - I'm assuming they backtracked to Scorpio and went down Kappa Moraine. Still a long day, and the weather would have been 'interesting'.

Nope.

This is another one I thought would be easy. I'm on a very well-known track, in a reserve, but it's not a National Park. It's a very easy reserve to access.
And as I said earlier, there's a fair bit of zoom here, to keep an incredibly easily recognised landmark completely out of the shot.

Ahhh, now we're getting somewhere. Yes, that hillside in the background is most certainly part of the Wellington Range.

Those houses are on a gravel road. I'm only guessing but maybe that's Turnip Fields Rd and you are on the Pipeline Track above Waterworks Reserve.
