You certainly can. Would have been a shame to lose that round after being so close first up.

I'm going to give it to you JohnW although the photo is actually from Mook Mook lookout, I think you are close enough.

Thanks Sandy. I would have got it next go. I hadn't got to researching Mook Mook LO because the angle tricked me into thinking you might be zoomed in from the other one.

The summit pillar is more weathered now but I'm guessing Townsend?

I'm guessing it's the Picton to Mittagong loop line.

Right idea, but a fair distance from there, and more newsworthy at present.

Yes. After many years finally reopened on the weekend according to news reports, following major bushfire damage and financial issues.

Looks interesting, added to my list of short walks next time we spend a few days in Canberra.

Let's try some novelty. There are at least 6 named peaks in view, first to name at least 4 wins.
Bonus point for my location, QLD:

Correct, good to have a QLD member join in. Others visible are Tibberoowuccum and a distant Coochin, while I'm on Beerburrum.

Thank you. I thought that it was taken from either Beerburrum or Tunbubudla

Next, and staying within Queensland ... should be straightforward for those who know the area

This photo was taken just yesterday: what peak had I just climbed that I am now looking down at?

Not in my area of knowledge but is this Short Leaning Ridge/Leaning Peak on Mt Barney?

You are very close - the Mt Barney massif is right, but it’s not Leaning Peak. Leaning Peak is just off to the left (and a little lower) than the peak I’ve just climbed and am looking at

Thanks, looks like a bit of a mission.

I'll stay with the current theme but it won't be as exciting as that.
This is a "where am I"'. What peak am I on in QLD?
