Intriguing, but looking at that building makes me dizzy.

Let's try a less auspicious construction in NZ:

Not Strohles Flat. Less remote but still in the Otago region. My previous clue was a bit cryptic. Think opposites.

Yes that's correct Tyreless, on the Mt Crichton circuit between Queenstown and Glenorchy.

Right country, but this is not a gorge. This is a vertical feature.

You were much (in bold, capital letters) closer before. Nærøyfjord is a branch of the Sognefjord. Where I am is on another branch very close (in bold, capital letters) to Nærøyfjord.

So many fjords! I'm busy getting ready for a trip flying out into the Pacific on Sunday, so will have to leave this for others.
If unresolved I'll be back on the 27th for another go :).
