It's a long time since I've been there but it;s still very recognisable.

I'm not sure of the exact name of this bay but tell me the name of the reserve and I will be happy. (In Victoria.)

It's been many years since I was there last but is it Cape Woolamai (Phillip Island)?

Thanks Graham. I think I have a very similar photo somewhere.

Anyone can post. I am running out of photos of places that people would recognize.

I'll post then. Thanks MickyB :D

This place seems to be a popular camping place. My friend went there with his high school for a weekend camping. Shouldn't be too hard for anyone who has been there :mrgreen:

Another hint. You will have to squeeze your way through this tiny cave to get to the top. Getting up there involves a lot of climbing. :wink:

That would make it Wells Cave? Don't have my old pics, but it looks about right.

(Edit):oops: so Sugarloaf Peak or Cathedral Range? I forgot it related back to the earlier post. :roll:

Anyway, 99% sure - but I'm light on photos, so anyone can post when rollingk gives the nod.

Thanks, rollingk, here's another well known feature in Victoria, from a less frequented viewpoint.

And I should have made it clear that I'm asking about the name of the spur that climbs up to the ridge on the horizon. There are possibly no Victorians (at least) on this list who have not climbed this spur.
