Both the mountain on the left (rear, with the cliffs) and the gap to the left of the right-most mountain are named after a nearby, well-known river

Right region, broadly speaking, but no (and a different NP). The nearby river that shares its name with features in the photo is equally well-known in bushwalking circles.

Time to spill this... It's looking at (L-R) Kowmung Mountain, Chiddy Obelisk, Mt Yubarra, Kowmung Gap (Woolpack Hd behind) and Mt Marrup from the slopes of Mt Armour, having bashed up from the Kowmung River earlier

School holidays. It's First Falls reservoir in Cleland NP, 10 km's from the GPO.
The old foot track (late 19thC?) left, heads to the ridge top and Old Bullock Track/Pioneer Women's Trail. In days of old the Falls were approached from above to avoid private holdings along the valley floor.
Someone else please post.

A few of these games are quite slow now.
I am sure a few of us knew where this was, just letting others have a go.

We had left the Ormiston Pound loop walk heading south on the ridges, and this is the view back to Ormiston Gorge and yes, Mt Sonder behind.
