Thanks SBS, that is so going to make things easy from here on in.

Eggs, what is the count at the moment, or have you lost count too? I'm quite a few pages behind at the moment (about 40), so I don't have an official image count.

HeHe - no dramas - will fill in some blanks as I find them...

eggs - not at all sure, looks NE to me and if it's not a walk it might be from Mt Barrow or on your way up Ben Lomond, but I don't know these mountains, maybe this helps someone else??

I went wrong some time ago - I think I am out by about 10.
But last attempt to catch up was on 23/6/2010 and my total was then 780 photos posts and 767 correctly answered. [A few were self answered and at least 1 was never resolved]

stepbystep - a long way from the NE. (I have posted this photo before - but not in the game)

Nope.

The key to this one lurks in the water.....

Yeah, the old bridge, but I still don't know.
Lots of old bridges in creeks around the place. Going out on a limb, the track towards Pillinger along the Bird River? Old rail line track.

That was indeed the correct limb to go out on - Bird River Track to Kelly Basin and Pillinger - your go....

Busy at work for once.

Anyone else? (Darn)

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Definitely looks west coast.
Don't think it's Murcho tho, really doesn't look familiar of that area.
Maybe the Tyndalls make another cameo in the game?

You are on the track which links the Maxwell/Tramway Tracks with the Brookes Track section of the Penguin-Cradle Track above Paddys Lake. You are overlooking the top of Winterbrook Falls on the side of Black Bluff.
