hmmm, ive only rafted the upper section so it would be another guess. i wont google it, over to someone else>

Unless you've been there, this one is probably a little more difficult than some of the others I've posted. I'll offer some further clues. I'm in a nominally trackless location at a dry creek junction (unnamed) separating two spurs (one is named on the map, the other not, but it may have an unofficial name). We got here by wading/rockhopping upstream for several kms from a tracked area.

A complete guess, could it be the Shoalhaven near Bungonia creek.

Hi Tony, That's the closest guess so far but (further clue) I'm approximately 2.5km south of that junction.
Could be something cooking around here.

Camp Oven Spur

Yes, Camp Oven Spur is rising up in front of me on the right. Our eventual exit route is just behind me via the "Beebox" spur (from guidebook author Robert Sloss).
This ultimately returns to Bungonia Lookdown passing west of Mt Ayre. Main features in the background are Siveright Spur and Mt Griffith Taylor, adjacent to the abandoned Tolwong copper mine and chimneys. Your turn again Tom.

Except for the hints, the only thing I could tell is you were facing south!
OK, a change of state. Here's one from WA. Where am I and what am I looking at?

On West Mt Barren, Fitzgerald River NP - looking North East past Mt Bland to Mid Mt Barren [far range]

Spot on eggs, your go

by **eggs** » Thu 26 May, 2011 12:25 pm

I have to admit that after one of your previous entries, I had scanned your site and had remembed seeing this shot.
However, I have done a bit more research on the area now.

This is a photo of a photo - what is this NT place called?

by **michael_p** » Thu 26 May, 2011 12:45 pm

Is it the Todd River near the Communications Station just out of Alice Springs?

by **eggs** » Thu 26 May, 2011 12:51 pm

That is correct - but I was hoping you might add that it is actually "Alice Springs" - ie the actual springs after which the town is named.
It is normally one or 2 pools that sit near the sloping rock - but I had the privilege of seeing the Todd flowing a few times that year.

by **michael_p** » Thu 26 May, 2011 1:19 pm

Thanks eggs.

The Todd was bone dry when we where there except for one day when it bucketed down and the Todd flowed for a few hours and that was it. Didn't realise that spot was the actual "Alice Springs".

Give me a sec' and I'll have a scrounge for a photo to post.

by **michael_p** » Thu 26 May, 2011 1:23 pm

OK, an easy one.

Location: NSW.

Name the track I am on:

by **johnw** » Thu 26 May, 2011 1:28 pm

Near the southern end of the Forest Path on the Illawarra Escarpment?

by **michael_p** » Thu 26 May, 2011 2:09 pm

Correct.

Your turn johnw.

Thanks Michael. I should know that one having walked it in both directions a couple of times, last one probably 12 months ago.

Next, which QLD peak am I looking at?

: Mt Tibrogargan - Glasshouse Mountains NP QLD

by **eggs** » Thu 26 May, 2011 4:26 pm

Looks like Tibrogargan - in the Glasshouse Mountains.
I presume that you were not climbing this face?

Mt Tibrogargan it is eggs. Definitely not climbing via that face :shock:

, although we did meet a party of rock climbers who had just come down from somewhere up there. We were just doing the circuit around the base but ended up ascending perhaps 2/3 of the summit track as a side trip. It was a bit late in the day to complete the climb and I wasn't too disappointed turning back at a scary looking bit. Your turn.

by **eggs** » Thu 26 May, 2011 6:40 pm

Since no one jumped in.

This is a photo of a photo.
There are 8 of them in this photo.
What are they and Where am I in Victoria?

by **north-north-west** » Thu 26 May, 2011 7:45 pm

Climbers on Arapiles?

by **eggs** » Thu 26 May, 2011 8:03 pm

Yes it is NNW - a lovely bit of rock

by **north-north-west** » Thu 26 May, 2011 8:29 pm

It is indeed. Also much bigger than I'd realised. And very different around the western side.

Hmmmmm . . . right, this is just along the track a teensy bit from my camp. I'm on ?????? Spur, at the top of ?????? Spur, having come down from ?????? Hill?
Oh, and we're still in Victoria.

by **north-north-west** » Fri 27 May, 2011 6:36 pm

Clue no1 - I'm right next to a very well known track.

by **johnw** » Sat 28 May, 2011 8:46 pm

All the Victorians must be out walking? Let's try and get this moving again. Unfortunately I don't know the area (looks nice though), and had very little luck with research. Is the very well known track the AAWT? That may narrow it down to ??? kms :roll:

. Othwerwise I'm coming up with names like Helicopter Spur, Staircase Spur, Diamantina Spur, Mt Howitt, Feathertop, Bogong, Bon Accord Hill et al. Can't find a similar image though.

by **marangaroo86** » Sat 28 May, 2011 9:25 pm

I,m not out walking , But I can not visualize this view. :oops:

I think being on a spur, at the top of the spur and just coming of a hill is playing with my mind

I keep going back to the feathertop razorback area.
I think being home bound for the last 4 months with a broken leg and surfing the net dreaming of walks is not helping either. :mrgreen:

Acting as a proxy for the lovely NNW, John has mentioned the area in his post.

diamantina spur

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sun 29 May, 2011 5:49 am
