Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[north-north-west]

Staying in Victoria. What does the cairn mark?

[soviet_apple_box]

That's Mount Saint Gwinear, near Baw Baw, correct?

[north-north-west]

Very correct, and a good way to start your forum life. Welcome.

[soviet_apple_box]

Thankyou.

Another one in Victoria.

On Mt Buffalo? Maybe somewhere around the Gorge or the Big Walk?

[soviet_apple_box]

I'll take it. It's looking down at the Buckland river from Chalwell Galleries.

[DJ Wombat]

In NSW.

Pretty unique landscape. I actually need help to name it. I've been to and I know exactly where it is, but I couldn't find what it is called.
This place give me a deeper impression than another relatively more well-known rock formation very closeby.

Reminds me of the upper Endrick basin?

Not sure what's going on but think I'm up next?

Thanks, and welcome to the game. Think I've seen similar, possibly from the View Point walk.
Something offbeat from the ACT:

"Fog sculpture" by Fujiko Nakaya, Sculpture Garden, Australian National Gallery, Parkes ACT

[Chev]

I think we are at the National Gallery, in the sculpture garden.

It is Upper Endrick. A little north west of Battleship Rock. But "upper endrick basin" is a general name for the whole area right? I thought there must be a special name for these rock layers - "The Arena" or something .

That's it, the short walk through the "Fog sculpture" garden by Fujiko Nakaya.
Interesting cool spot on a hot day if you're there when it's operating. Over to you.

[Chev]

Cheers John. A magical spot. It has tricked my photo app's AI before and made it into an 'in the woods' album.

This is in NSW:

[johnw]

Ettrema Creek?

[Chev]

Yes. Waterholes at the camp site below Bullfrog Creek.

[johnw]

Thanks Chev, I haven't been there but seen plenty of reports.

Where was I getting holed up in a storm? NSW:

Retreating towards Illawong Lodge from the vicinity of the Twynams during an electrical storm, Kosciuszko NP via Guthega NSW

Just a general term for the area... very distinctive. I'd like to traverse from that area up to bulee ck/picture canyon area (galloping Jim's route) but the regrowth is probably sheiser now

I was heading off track to one of the top 5 highest Aussie peaks (behind me) and had to turn back due to lightning strikes.

[johnw]

There is a structure and a building out of shot in the distance, on my right.
The peak I was heading for has a subsidiary peak, similarly named.

Always hard to say with that zoom lens of yours. Are you on Carruthers Spur?

No, but not too far away. Head ENE about 5 km via a body of water to find me.
My destination peaks are sort of halfway-ish between.

[Tyreless]

Lots of clues… Is the structure the bridge over the Snowy River and the building Illawong Lodge? Heading down from Twynam.

Correct on all points Tyreless. All yours.

[johnw]

Looks like Tyreless has gone missing. Anyone can go next...

[Tyreless]

Oops, sorry. How about this… NSW

On the track up to Blue Lake looking at Headley Tarn?

WAG as I haven't been up there. Maybe overlooking Corin Dam from Stockyard Spur or Little Ginini?
