Not Magnetic Island. It is an island but I'm quite a bit further north.

I think it's Hinchinbrook and Nina Peak.

Not there Sandy but you're a bit closer. I'm still further north, you are very roughly 1/3 of the way there from Magnetic Is.

Nothing jumping out at me, but it looks like classic Hawkesbury sandstone country. I'll guess somewhere in the Nattai Valley area.

The Nattai is correct John, but it's a big place. I'm on a track at a named place.

I love coming up the old skip incline, a bit of a workout though.
What named feature/s are we sheltering on? NSW:
- On The Pinnacles, Lockley Pylon track, Blue Mountains NP via Leura NSW

Thank you peregrinator. It overlooks an evocative and spectacular area. It was a windy, chilly day and we climbed up here to find a sheltered spot for lunch on the way to a very deep valley. I don't know how many bother to climb up here from the track but it's worth the effort.

I'm thinking either Clark or Nichols Gorge but I'm not familiar with this spot.
