Spot on. Nice camping around that area too.

Indeed, from Halls Buttress, one assumes.
I wish had I had the part of your brain that does that, eggs.

Using the old names I see.
I believe it is Solomons Throne now.

Listmap still recognises Halls Buttress as a search term so NNW has it.

:P
Depends on the name. I'm seeing a lot of dual naming come up on ListMap now, and I'll be adopting a lot of those, but sometimes I like the old (like, start of my bushwalking career era old) names.

Where would you need to be to get this view?

I guess you were on Skittleball Hill. Interesting name. Why was it called that?

Skittleball it was, and a lovely thing it is, but no idea on the name.

I wouldn’t mind going there to do some fishing. Back in the 1990’s a friend said the road was just a muddy bog but that road looks all right. Is it?

Where was I last week?

The road is great (it's fairly new, or at least newly improved) but you're not supposed to walk it and I've no idea how you get permission to drive in there and a key for the gate. But there is a walking track from Little Pine, although it's a bit soggy around the lagoon a lot of the time.

The irony is that they are not far from the road I was on.

Yes Last - worked in the area for 2 months as a student and never saw them, despite later walking along the 4WD road at the base of the range.
Caught this brief view on a small rise on the newer Anthony Road and had to go back and record it.

Yes eggs, somewhere about there. We camped. The mosquitos were intense.

No real zoom in this and the foreground provides a large clue.

I know that's a road, but I still don't recognise the rocks at the back.

Repost for the page turn.
The climb to the top does not follow those rocks at the back, but the ridge behind it which this shot does not show.
In between is a lovely valley with several lakes.
