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.

This location is not remote (and is also not the Junee Cave). But it is a cave. You can drive the car almost right to one of the many entrances to this cave.

I used to explore this cave system a lot when I was younger, and took my kids there for the first time a few weeks ago. This time I came back with bruises all over my fore-arms from squirming through one long thin tunnel. That didn't used to be a problem last time (~30 years ago).

These caves were (relatively) recently included in a new(ish) National Park.

I thought this one would be easy. But maybe it's less well known than I thought.

Another of the many entrances to this cave is a massive sink-hole that you can abseil into (after a short walk up the hill from the more common entrances).

Hint: It's coincidental that you have to drive past the most well-known shop in Chudleigh on the way to this cave.

It’s Ben 22 hours and I know I’m right so I’ll post the next picture. I climbed this mountain on Monday. What is it?

My recollection of all those guide posts suggests Cradle?

Re: GAME: Where am I?

That was quick. We had a lovely family three days at the Scout Hut to celebrate my birthday and four of us climbed Cradle Mountain while the younger ones went back to the hut from Marions Lookout.

Sounds wonderful Graham, and happy birthday!
I've only climbed it once but walked under and past it numerous times since.

Is that what you'd see from Picton if you weren't in a cloud?

Bit of zoom here Tortoise. I did pick this shot after reading of your upcoming adventure :).
Not Picton. This is possibly somewhat easier to access but I imagine Picton could have a similar view.

Somewhere in Hartz? Is that perhaps Hartz Peak on your right with Snowy off to the left somewhere?

Yes Graham, just came down from Snowy. I'm on the saddle, that's Hartz rising on my right.

I remembered you had posted a picture of Snowy from there and put two and two together.

Bryan's Beach?

Yes, it’s Bryan’s Beach. What a lovely place to camp.

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Would be a good place to go and get away from the crowds at Cooks.

Pencil Pine Bluff or Mt Inglis?

Re: GAME: Where am I?

No, I think he's further south, looking over Pine Forest Moor, quite possibly from the slopes of a famous Abel.

A very famous Abel, and mountain for that matter!
Over to you.

Damn, I was hoping someone else would sneak in with the actual name.

Right, this thing is close to a named landmark, even if you can't see it.

Looks like the one between Mersey Crag and Clumner. Lovely up there.

I don't remember seeing one between Mersey Crag and Clumner, although I do agree it's lovely up there.
There's a different Abel around here, but it's not the nearest landmark.

I wondered if there were more of the same. Do you know what they are? This is the one I know:
