That's it, IDP! :D I'm at the summit of Mt Stokes, looking over Bramble Cove, the Breaksea Islands, and beyond.

I paddled a packraft (of all things) from Melaleuca for a week exploring and walking the hills around Bathurst Harbour and Port Davey.

Over to you --->

Thank you MH
That view is so beautiful, I am jealous.
I have been to Spain Bay, which I think is visible in your photo. The logistics of bringing kayaks from interstate seem a little difficult for me, though would love to paddle around Bathurst Harbour one day - looks stunning.

Next, where am I looking at this well-known feature (and the well-known mountain to its immediate left)?

Yes, that's why I was in a packraft. Possibly the most unsuitable vessel for an adventure of this nature, but one you can send on a light plane to the area. It turned out to be an excellent week.

I think I know exactly where your new picture is. I'll try to sit on my hands and let someone else have a go, but I'm excited because I'm planning my Christmas trip to this area! :D

I thought that was Coronation Peak so I did a search and found an almost identical picture won the photo competition in 2011. Is it called The Rock Dragon?

There are some impressive outcrops there.

Yes - we were accessing the Tyndall range by the ridge next to Rolleston.
The Anthony Road had recently been built.
Lake Plimsoll would dominate this view today.

You're not a million miles away, but no. There is a track most of the way here.

Nothing inevitable about that.
It had to be relatively flat nearby with lots of reeds near a track but not on a track.
Lucky to find it using maps & satellite imagery.

Lets try another old slide
