Somewhere on Pine Forest Moor? Theres a creek you cross on a bridge and you when head up a little hill not sure of the name of the creek.
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Is that from the lookout just off the Overland Track just before heading into the forest and up the hill before Pine Forest Moor? I can't remember it's name. Something Valley Lookout.

EDIT (after checking the OT map on my phone): Fourth Valley Lookout?

Forth Valley Lookout is correct.
The mountains are Barn Bluff, Cradle, and Emmett.

OK, well I'm sure this one has not appeared in the game before, but I'm equally sure that it will be absolutely dead easy.

(It's another old slide scan. I'm not behind the camera, but am in the photo... is that permitted in the game rules?)

Yes, of course you are correct. Sleepy bay it is.

And I'm sure knee high socks were quite fashionable in the '70s, not that I've ever cared much about fashion.

I suspect the key to this one is a couple "man made" items - a track and a platform to drop your bags for the side trip?

Perhaps from Mt Doris, looking to Pelion Gap?

Looks like this, but I thinkj Robl was standing just below and in front of me...

I was definitely on Mt Doris.
I was resting my camera on one of the summit rocks to take the pic. It was a cold windy day.
Stepbystep may have been standing.

Not from Lynnes Sugarloaf, and not the B34, but you're in the right area.

Looks like a nice place with some good weather.
But that will probably be Bathurst Harbour under the cloud.
