I'm not far from Graham's previous photo. I mean really not far.

It is from Mt Snowy, looking at The Boomerang, or to be more technically correct, looking at the clouds in front of The Boomerang. I have a very similar picture, clouds and all.
I found your responses to guesses a little misleading

Much closer but no. I could possibly see Adamsons from here in clearer conditions.

You WOULD be able to see Adamsons in clearer conditions

Snowy South is (roughly) in the correct direction from the previous guess (Adamsons) but way too far

You kept me guessing!

I'm being a bit cheeky with this one Last :). You are the closest and I'm happy to award it to you as it is very close, but I'm not on Mt Snowy.
If I turn a bit it's just across the saddle from me. Sorry, I couldn't recall whether I would or wouldn't see Adamsons from my position or if Esperance may obscure it.
My visits are not frequent enough to be 100% certain of what's visible from where in all conditions and I have way too many photos to investigate all of them.
Anyway I'm on Hartz Peak, probably only a metre or two from the last photo.
I was curious to see if anyone would pick it up with less obvious clues in the photo. Over to you.

No bites. It looks vaguely like Lake Osborne.

no to both. Osborne is much closer than Oberon. I see what you mean about it looking Oberonish though.

That's a tricky angle.
My shot from the shore looking north did not match, but that will be Hartz on the left meaning you are at the other end looking south.
So off-track or in a boat?

I'm looking north. Both ends of the lake are similar in profile. Yes I'm in a raft.
Edit, I reviewed my photo's, you are correct I was looking south.

Long shot guess... are you between the northern end of Olympus and Byron Gap?

No-one else has jumped in, so I might as well break the game for a while. Where was this?

That didn't last long, did it? Yep, Green Bluff/ Urquharts Mesa/Grassy Knoll, take your pick.

With Mrs Perrins Bluff and (sigh) PW lined up like that it didn't make it particularly hard. Next

Correct eggs. We were having a look around the old mine workings and stamper site. Some of the old mine workings are behind me. My second visit. Unfortunately the off road FWD, quads and m bikes have discovered it and it was very churned up.

I found a gold stamper in a gully a very short distance inland from the coast down from there.

Where is this young fellow [can you see him?]

I had this one ready to go, but there's a good chance I'll be going walkies for a few days, so if no-one has it by close of business today and/or I don't respond this evening, someone else can jump in with another shot.
