So, dunno.

Right NP, but wrong side of Sassafras. This waterfall is named on topos.

Total WAG as I don't know the area, but the clues might fit Perryman Falls on Cinch Creek below Pinchgut Hill?
All named on SIX Maps topo. Only found one photo online, and it doesn't support my guess .

Haha that's on the same side of the sassafras road as Thompson's cliff. You're both in the wrong catchment (this is off track, but isn't ettrema).

Dogged persistence pays off. Crooked Falls on Angel Creek. I assume that would be Donjon Mountain above.

Correct on both counts. Spectacular spot.

Sorry, I've been out in the wilderness.

That photo was taken from the snowy River crossing from right next to Charlotte's pass. Looking towards koszi

Sheesh, I was right there the other week and it still didn't register .

Thanks. I need to expand my knowledge of the Budawang area beyond Pigeon House and Mt Bushwalker. Son has done a fair few overnighters there, I'll try and get him to let me tag along on one.

Next, still NSW. Hopefully easy:

Townsend?

Looks a bit like it, but no. It's another named peak but quite a long way from Townsend.

South rams head?

I was going for Townsend, but I'll go for Tate.

Neither. Tate is closest so far. This does have a trig on it, which you might just be able to see, zoomed in.

Gungartan?

Yes, Gungartan it is GBW, over to you.

Thanks John. ACT...

Due to a Covid related issue we stayed in Canberra for a couple of nights on the way home from Jindabyne the other week.
So I decided to take advantage of that and visited Namadgi NP for the first time, and did some short walks.
The road in to this was closed at the time due to recent flooding but I think it may be Orroral Homestead?

You'd be correct John. We camped at Orroral River on the AAWT then in the morning walked down to homestead past the old tracking station along what I think is called the Heritage Walk. Kangaroos galore.

Thanks GBW. I just did a few of the short walks off the Boboyan Rd south to get oriented with the park.
I noticed they had blocked the Orroral Rd access when I drove past.

Staying with the "hut" theme, where is this "loo with a view"? NSW:

Short, easy access via pleasant river walking from a couple of directions to this not very remote site.

I'd try and make the next train up the hill but they don't run this time of year.

Hmmm, a solidly-built outhouse with a "heritage" roof alongside a creek surrounded by what appear to be exotic trees, downhill from a train that doesn't run this time of year. I have absolutely no idea! Grasping at straws so I'll say near Thirlmere.

near Lithgow zig zag ?

A very long way south from either of those. I'm in a very large NP.
There is a "hut" and another structure of the same architecture in this complex, built as a fly fishing lodge for the good doctor in 1934.
Apparently sometimes booked as a wedding venue these days.
The train only runs when it's really cold up top and those aboard are well rugged up carrying their gear and toys.

Bullocks Hut?

Doctors Hut at Geehi

That's it GBW. Called in for a coffee at Lake Crackenback and took a short stroll to the hut.

Thanks John. Based on your clue with the train it had to be somewhere near the Ski Tube. Staying in NSW...

Mackays (Tibeaudos) Hut?

That was quick! Yes Mackays John, all yours.

Thanks GBW. I haven't visited that hut but the KHA web site was my friend .
From another walk I did a couple of weeks ago, NSW:
