I have no idea Last, but that looks a horrible day for a walk. Are you/that person howling into the rock face in despair at the weather?

Not me, walking companion searching for something in their pack. Out of the shelter it was difficult to stand. It's not a road but probably generations of bushwalkers have sought shelter here.

You may be onto something. Would you like to be more specific?

I feel a bit bad for jumping in, but is it just below the top of Maxwell Ridge? On the Ooze Lake side.

Correct. A nice place to shelter on a summers day. Actually it was March.

I remember trying to shelter there in very similar weather, but wind was blowing rain underneath the overhang.
Next, one from the archives. Where was I about 6 years ago?

I have a vaguely similar photo from 2006 at Apsley Gorge.

You're in the correct national park, but it's not Apsley Gorge.

It sure is. Somehow missed the route down to the base, so I have to be content with only seeing it from the top.

Wrong end of the state.
I tried to point you in the right direction with the last clue.

PB?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Well, Bonds Craig, Reeds Peak and Great Dome from that side and that angle suggests somewhere in the Mt Field NP. Not Lord or Lanes - vegetation is wrong. Maybe from near The Watcher?

I've tried getting that same shot from near there but never had a decent result. Needs a lot of zoom and a steady hand.
How about this one:

I'm sure many people have the same photo.
Away from computer so anyone can post next. Thanks.
