Yes I actually thought Greg provided the answer earlier. Remember guys this version of the game is where is it, not where am I, unless specifically stated when the image is posted.

Ah yeh I thought "looking towards" bunyans was different to actual standing on it

A fair comment John, I actually meant "looking at Bunyans" rather than actually being at that spot. Crolly supplied the correct answer according to Hoyle.

All good, let's keep going with crolly's shot. But can we please try and observe the rules for this version of the game, otherwise it gets confusing.

Here:
https://bushwalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=Where_is_it_-_Rules

And on page 1 of the actual game:

This game will be a little different from the Tasmanian game. Firstly, you will be guessing “Where is it” ... where is the subject in the photo. Of course, to do that you will need to work out what it is you are looking at. For added interest, but not required for a win, the Poster can optional also ask you to guess “Where am I” ?

I know we have sometimes asked a where am I, which is bending the rules a little, but I think that's fine as long as you state that when first posted.

Glad we got that sorted because I have no idea where I was when I took the last photo. But I do know the lump of rock is in a park beginning with G.

We crossed the inland sea usually called the Darling the other day. Was this a recent trip?

This is in Vic.

I was outback NSW last July. It was green and teaming with life. Must be very different ATM when you consider what it's normally like

I think that's looking at the Chace Range, from near Rawnsley Bluff.

South Australia once more. Name this range. And perhaps the highest peak while you're at it.

Spot on, wobbly. Looks like it because it is it. With the highest peak Mt Havelock (790 m) a little right of centre. As seen from Martins Well Rd.
