Must be on the summit of Waewaetorea Island, in the bay of Islands then!
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Makarora River valley. Appears to not be from a Track?
But a little north of the Makarora Gorge - near the tree line?
Maybe a range traverse? [Ka Tiritiri O Te Moana]

Pretty darn spot on. I was ascending the ridge south of the Makarora Gorge, to get to a canyoning stream.

Sorry eggs. As a long time supporter of this version of the game I somehow lost track of this one. Seems to be very few players now.
Anyway here's a somewhat unusual one. I'm on a walk with plenty of flora and fauna, albeit not exactly a bushwalk.
I did kayak this river for several kms the following morning, NZ:

You've only narrowed it down to NZ, however I think it's in Christchurch

That's probably true. Yes, you've narrowed it down to the correct city, but where?

I can't imagine punting anywhere other than on the Avon river personally.

I may have stumbled onto the connection :). My search suggests Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin.

indeed it is John. Not in Christchurch, but Christ Church Dublin Ireland- not a shaky Isle but further north they have had their troubles .

Can't wait to get on the plane in April and get some new shots to enter.

Go John.

Thank you Greg. Yes it's great to be travelling again, WA, SA, outback NSW in April, QLD in May, nothing OS planned as yet.
We actually encountered some Americans in the city last week asking for directions.
Haven't had that experience in a long time :shock:. With that thought in mind, USA:

Probably either Mauna Loa or Maunu Kea. Lets say Loa.

Not Mauna Loa. It's still active, erupted last November. I'm on a different island with a large dormant volcano.

Looking up towards an elevation of 3,055 m/10,023 ft. I've posted from the summit previously.

Google is right Graham. I'm looking towards Haleakala from the lava flows trail at La Perouse Bay near the start of the "Kings Highway" hiking trail.
Over to you.
