Surprised this hasn't gone, it's in a popular area. I can narrow it down to Blue Mountains.

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

Closer but not quite. I'm probably a solid day's walk from there, but in the same general area.

[Scratches head] I've really broken it this time, or everyone is away, or lost interest.
I assume that's not a serious answer, so I'll give another clue instead of pound-ing my head against the wall.
There are a small number of Norse beings etc around here, although this isn't one of them.

No, but very close. Check clues - it's not a Norse entity.

Thanks, I find the Blue Mtns can be hard because the views are similar, so it's hard to be sure you've got the right location.

That's correct although not the answer I expected haha. It's looking north from pretty plain hut (which granite knob track goes through)

I'd like to think I'll see more of northern KNP before I get too old but yet to happen.
I found a near identical shot on a recognised amateur photographer's site. He has some stunning photos of that area.

Still NSW, name at least two features, or one feature and my location:
