Was going to leave this for someone else to have a go, but ... looks like the gap you pass through on the Irenabyss track.

The clue makes me think of valleys and gates, so maybe in the Walls. Not sure where though, even if I'm on the right track!
+1 to nnw's welcome back, btw. :)

Thanks Tortoise! :)

Walls is right, but this spot I am at has a specific name. I am looking at something with a name and there are prominent features left, right and behind me.

I've only visited some of these things. Are you in Damascus Vale looking at the Wailing Wall? Mt Moriah would be to the left, Solomons Throne to the right.
Not exactly prominent but definitely recognisable, Jaffa Vale would be behind.

Not much to go on there, John! :)

I'll start off just to get the ball rolling...

Lake Balmoral? (I haven't been there, so it is a wild stab in the dark.)

I could have posted a wider view but no fun if it's too easy Nik :wink:. Not Balmoral but you're not far away at all.
There looks to be a trig on the high point, but it's not a named peak AFAIK. This lake definitely has a name though.

Trig... that makes more sense. I though it looked like a person up there.

Unlike a larger one much further along the same track.

Could it be Lake Evans?

I haven't been to the south side of Forty Lakes Peak, but I suppose the map looks like it could fit the picture.

(I'm just guessing after adding the "Survey Control" layer to LIST Map, and seeing what's near Lake Nameless - from your clues. The only points nearby are Forty Lakes Peak and Ironstone Mtn.)

the only trig I can see on "thelist" on an unnamed peak is the one just NE of Lake MacKenzie, but that doesn't seem to match the rest of the clues.....

Sorry, I seem to have led the party too far astray. For the clue hinting at Lake Nameless, I should have said that it's much, much further along from here.
Nik's original guess of Lake Balmoral was very close, about 2 km away. I can't be 100% certain it is a trig, but definitely looks like a triangular frame topped with a disc, in my original photos.
Also this was taken in 2008, so if it is a trig, maybe no longer there? There is a bit of zoom involved, so I'm assuming the high point is about 800m from me.
In which case it does sit on/near a named feature, but not a peak. Finally, this is a fairly popular spot.

Lady Lake and Nells Bluff? (I don't remember seeing a trig point there.)

the trigs haven't moved in the last 13 years (they aren't maintained) and the list maps are probably older than that anyway. If this is Lady lake the trig i mentioned earlier is about 4 km away and would probably be visible with some zoom. That is the only marked trig for some distance.

Yes, Lady Lake. In that case maybe I'm not facing in the direction I thought, it was a while ago. These days I'm lucky to remember what happened yesterday.
So maybe it is the one NE of Lake MacKenzie, although I doubt my camera then would have had that much telephoto capability. Could also be a mirage of sorts I guess.
Anyway Nik has the first, neatest, correct entry :).

I'm guessing this is more remote but that approach reminds me of the Junee Cave.
