Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[peregrinator]

Not Lake Eildon. I believe it is a Lake, but it could be a River.

[peregrinator]

Classification as Lake or River essentially being determined by flood level, I suppose. I emphasised the fact that the photograph was taken in Victoria. Rivers can be state borders.

This is making me think the Murray. It looks well forested and perhaps a milder climate than the western parts. I don't know it but I'll try Barmah Lake.

it reminds me of the country around Hume weir. Parks on the victorian side include mt Granya?

Mt Lawson?

[peregrinator]

Mt Lawson?

Yes, Mount Lawson State Park. At the northern end, looking at Lake Hume/Hume Dam. Both names are in use. Not far east from here, the name reverts to Murray River.

Thanks, next. NSW

Very familiar terrain but I can't place the spot. Does look like the Nattai though.
EDIT: Now I can. I'm pretty sure it's the Nattai from the lookout at the end of the Boxvale track, above the skip incline.

[Last]

That's correct. If you zoom in you can see the power lines

[johnw]

Thanks Last.

What did I visit on Saturday in the ACT:

Would a tradie, or an artist, go up there?

[jonnosan]

combing the clue with a list of ACT trig markers - is it Mt Painter?

Correct jonnosan. We were in Canberra last week so I managed a few ACT day walks.
Visited Mt Painter after doing Big Monks on Saturday morning.

Thanks Johnw
Keeping on the trig theme, whats the name of the trig I am looking at here (NSW)?

Is it Flat Top from the Lockley track?

[jonnosan]

Is it Flat Top from the Lockley track?

You are correct on it being Flat Top, but its from the fortress ridge track, not Lockley

Ah yes, that makes sense now.

Another trig then, NSW:

Near Castle Cliff trig on Castle Head, Blue Mountains NP via Katoomba NSW

Jellore?

Not in the Nattai area, closer to the previous photo.

[Tyreless]

Is it Hat Hill (prior to August 2020 - the vanes are no longer in place)?

Not Hat Hill Tyreless. You're in the general area but on the wrong side of the GWH.

[Tyreless]

Castle Cliff?

[johnw]

Castle Cliff?

Correct Tyreless, Castle Cliff trig on Castle Head.

[Tyreless]

Thanks John. Following in the same theme… NSW

Looking south from Mt Mouin?

Looking south from Mt Mouin?

That's it. There used to be a trig structure at Mt Mouin but it was de-piled some time prior to August 1977 by NPWS due to damage from walkers on some of the loose slopes (if I recall correctly). Jonnosan found information in the August 1977 edition of The Bushwalker magazine, but the link to the pdf no longer works and it’s not available at the Bushwalking NSW web site (a bit of a mystery).

Originally thought it was the view from splendour rock, but then realised mt dingo is in the photo.

This is in Vic:

Hi Tyreless - there is a copy of that PDF on archive.org - https://web.archive.org/web/20210127110 ... t-1977.pdf
This is the article I was referring to on the GCA log (which I assume is what you were referencing)
