Well that cancelled anything I was thinking out. Thought it looked like the plateau country above Landslide creek but none of those clues match.

Many here will have walked or camped in that valley... and many will have walked the ridge in question.

The ridge is question has a canyon, lookout and creek with the same name.
I've just visited two caves behind and to my left (there was a thread here about them recently)

Initial thought was fortress ridge, which I guess accords with the clue?

Well done. Straight ahead is Govetts Gorge with Govetts Creek down on the left.

NSW again. Just the river will do but the peak I'm on would be even better:

Looks interesting but I don't know it. I think it may be from Baldy Billy Peak overlooking the Wollondilly River.
Not too far a drive from me, might have to investigate at some point.

Baldy Billy/Wollondilly is correct

Getting cold, you can see Lockley in the distance on the left. Jonnosan was only about 500 metres away.
