Other thought was speculation maybe?

Thanks, GBW. It was very familiar but I don't have any photographs from around that area. Staying in VIC, what is this feature's name?

GregR, not a bad place to start. After you buy a duck, continue down the road a bit. This place is not a cave. It's name describes something other than a cave.

The duck was delicious, should have plucked and cooked it first though. still, live and learn.

Before I went to the aforementioned Byaduk caves I stopped at Budj Bim, but the part ,I suspect strongly that your picture was taken in , was closed.

GregR and Eremophila, yes it is in Budj Bim (previously Mt Eccles National Park). Pity that a section of it was closed when you visited Greg. Was that due to the very damaging 2019-20 bushfire? As a result of that, Tunnel Cave was closed.

Tunnel Cave is at the northern end of Lake Surprise. My photograph is not at that end. And yes, Eremophila, it is part of a lave tube or lava canal. It is named on maps.

I'll Take the win but I'm sorta hoping that Eremophila might get in quick here as a consolation prize.

This ones in Victoria but most clearly not a cave!!

Where am I??

I'd be surprised if Eremophila doesn't know.

Hint: I recall the famous 1960's Philospher G Pyle most famous quote.." Surprise, surprise Sgt Carter..."

I may have to give Perigrinator the floor so I can I can focus on my pressing matters, like staring mindlessly at the TV or sleeping or yelling at the cat.

All yours P.

Not a river, but a Lake in a crater which is taken 20m from the previous cave shot!

Thank you Greg, I seem to have undeservedly acquired all three games for the moment. NSW:

Perhaps your earlier post about stumbling around the outlet of Lake Albina was in hindsight a clue!!

That's my guess anyway.

Good guess Greg. Yes, at the outlet of Lake Albina looking back at my descent route from Alice Rawson.
