Secret Gods walk!?

It's just like a cryptic crossword without a clue how long the word is!

Thanks, I did a little research but probably a Bradbury. Coincidentally my son was telling me about his recent trip to Byangee Walls.

Correct 'dingo, although there was no lookout platform or raised walkways when I visited some years ago.

Running a bit low on pics so I’ll take the track I’m on or the beach in front or the NP that owns them.

I need the name of the track I'm on. Bonus point if you can name the lookout, NSW:

Thats a hard one, so many tracks, so many lookouts. I'll guess you are on the Prince Henry Cliff Walk near Elysian Rock.

A bit harder than usual but I'll provide enough clues to work it out.
Not Prince Henry Cliff walk/Elysian Rock. I'm near a different township but pretty close by.
This track has featured previously in the game (not by me), at a different lookout.
Not likely you would visit this un-signposted/unofficial/unmaintained track unless specifically looking for it.

I have no idea what track you are on, just thought I would have a go at narrowing it down a bit. It looks to be around Wenty Falls area. The towers hidden by the trees on the top left look like the ones out on Kings Tableland.

You have narrowed it down Michael, I am in the Wenty Falls precinct.
I believe that this track was created in the 1920s by the ranger for this area at the time.
Hordes of cashed-up tourists are walking not very far from me.
The view from this lookout is quite rosey.

I knew I had been there , but had to resort to google to locate the actual name of the track. I believe it's Rose's Lookout on Stonehaven Pass

Correct jonnosan, a nice diversion off the Den Fenella track. I only discovered it recently myself. And you get the bonus point :).

Thanks jonnosan. I've visited there a number of times.
Great that lovely area now has some degree of protection in the NP estate.
