I've only seen the Budawangs from Pigeon House so all research and guesswork. Quilty's Mountain?

Melinda has it.

Photo of Profile Rock taken from the Canowie Brook track. I thought with the Budawangs being such a popular spot this would have been guessed right away.

Your turn Melinda.

Thanks michael_p,
That whole Canowie Brook area is quite spectacular, guess that's why I sort of recognized it.
OK, one more go!

Thanks for starting it off Vern, but sorry not that far north. To narrow it down a bit this is more SE.

Not terribly confident, but it looks a bit like Mt French ( Frog Buttress). That might put you on Edwards ?

Thanks WalkinTas,

I have been down south walkin Tas, my wife and I did a guided/catered walk over Easter around the Bay of Fires, we stayed on a few extra days and visited Hobart, made it up Mt Wellington on a nice day with awsome views and did a cruise around Tasman Island, the sea was as flat as it gets.

This one is in NSW, and is where am I, name the peak I am standing on. edit: bonus points if you can name the peaks in the distance.

Hi Vern,

Yes it is in the KNP, I should have mentioned in my original post, I am after the name of the peak that I am standing on.
