Correct, aka Snowies Alpine Walk Stage 3. Interested to see how the next bit down to Bullocks Flat turns out.

Years ago we climbed up all of them, then followed the creek to a firetrail, which eventually took us to the Illawarra Highway.
We then followed the road back to the start. Sheesh, that's something I'll never do again :shock:.

Clues - Approaching the outskirts of a large settlement and I'm not on foot, or in a vehicle.
The feature in the very far distance should help.

I thought Cobberas as well. Mt Pilot on distant horizon. But maybe from a little bit further north than No 1. How about Cleft Peak?

The top of an otherwise obscured waterfall is just visible centre-right.... the creek above is pretty much the only water source for some distance.
