No
Clue is that it appears to be the largest of these beaches and it is only just the right peninsula

No
The town after which the beach is named can hold you up if you are driving

Looks a tiny bit like the hazards, but since you posted it, probably somewhere in the South West.

Could be looking along the Denison Range by the looks of the geology?

I guess the obvious clue would be to look at the right hand side of the mountain where the cloud is just covering the top.....

I am away for a few hours watching my son perform in High School Musical (I hope you all have your tickets! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ) - I have sent details to eggs who can act as proxy :lol: :lol:

That also reduces the competition for the rest of you!

1 question and 3 different answers in 3 replies.
wow.

Firstly - it is Rugby on the right - that most distinctive of shapes. Normally seen from the other side - at least in this game.

Secondly - there are an awful lot of big mountains between Payne/Bond Bays and Rugby.
The "official" answer is not in your list, but I have sent a message querying it. As I suspect a slightly different location.
Do you mind waiting :lol:

I had a friend do the South Coast Track last year when we were in the WA & at Frenchman's Cap.
The South West corner I have never visited, although there are rough plans to do the round trip past SW Cape, but maybe not for 2 years.
Rugby certainly looks to be a star vantage point, and some people climb it from boat trips. If I ever get there, that might be the way it happens.

Nice option if you can get it! Ive done the SW circuit, a very very nice walk! Away from crowds, Very little mud and nice open on and off track walking. Window pane is also the nicest beach ive ever been on!
Sitting at horseshoe inlet staring at Rugby for hrs was what gave the the desire to climb it, and now being a peakbagger I have other motivations. A VERY impressive peak given the surroundings.

Not sure how long tastrax will be - but I am very confident of my reasoning.
So I will give it to you for your 2nd guess - Balmoral Beach.
