It looks like Corang Peak from the south, but I could be wrong.

Correct Michael, it is Corang Peak, the other partly hidden Peak in the distance on the right is Pigeon House Mountain.

Your turn.

Thanks Tony.

Thought it was Corang when I first looked at it but doubted myself.

Location: NSW.

I think you will be surprised where this photo was taken. Can you name the park.

Michael, Are you at the northern end of Royal NP overlooking part of Port Hacking? If that part is correct an exact location needs more research.

Have to admit this threw me, since it did look a lot like Corang Peak, but not from the south. If that's Pigeon House on the right, then the photo is from the west looking roughly east?

For a guess on the next one - Georges River NP?

Looks like the Lower Portals at Mt Barney - with a lot more water than we had when we were there.

Right part of the state.
This is a very low named feature we are on - but the small peak on the range at back has a name.

Hi Tom,

We walked in from Wog Wog, the photo was taken from the south west near Korra Hill.

Wow - I am having trouble with names again.
When I search for Sentinel Peak on the web - it seems to be referring to Mt Abrupt or perhaps the lovely peak to its north - Signal Peak.

They might be in the far distance of this other shot over my location
VicG5270.JPG


So no - the peak in the first photo is not Sentinel - and I am particularly after the name where the kids are.

PS - a correction - I don't know the name of the minor peak at the back - It was looking a lot further north along that range than I thought I was and I suspect it is unnamed.
However, the range itself has the same name as the valley we are in.

Are you standing in the large strangler fig on the tree top walk at O'Reilly's, looking across Green Mountain to Main range? (to Mt Barney)
