Woops I didn't realise this was the Aussie thread. This is an easy day walk in Tassie.

Looks like Rufus way - but probably from some rocks on the saddle between Rufus and Hugel?

I'm guessing on this one, as I've not been there for a long time (and never with a camera). So, I'll try for Mt Kooyoora from Mt Brennah. Whatever the answer, it is fascinating country and a lovely shot.

It's not Hollow Mtn, looking at Mt Zero?

I'm guessing it's somewhere in the Grampians. Definitely not the southern side (around Mt. Abrupt) so must be somewhere towards the north looking away from the national park?

I will give it to Icefest. It is Mt Zero, but from Flat Rock ( on the normal route to Stapylton)
The tracks around Hollow Mt have been closed off due to fire damage.

I thought maybe the Murchison River Gorge at Kalbarri. Though there was nowhere near that much water in it when I was there.

I just double checked my notes. I thought it was Yardie gorge, but on closer inspection, it is actually Mandu Mandu gorge. Sorry MickeyB :(

No worries mate. I'm glad other people also forget the names of places they have visited :D

I won't be able to post a photo until either late tonight or tomorrow so if anyone wants to post feel free to do so.
