I recall reading about confusion on the location of Mt Townsend when reading about von Guerard.

Yes, Townsend. I was at or near the summit block. I can't recall if there was much zoom and I'm too lazy to look up the EXIF data :). All yours.

Not. There can't be too many huts left with a view of Jagungal.

Yes, just past the headland north of Werri Beach. I haven't walked that track for ages.
Doing a few kms along there should be easy enough to help with re-training my recently operated knee.

Yeah, the Kiama Coastal Walk would be a good place to start. Nice and easy.
Another NSW coastal a way away from Kiama though.

I have no idea with this one. To open the bidding I'll try Look At Me Now Headland/Serenity Bay near Woolgoolga.

Good grief, more *&%$#! than class :lol:. Google was no help, so I just scanned the map and picked features that vaguely looked like they might fit.

Something different, with a bit of history. NSW:

Correct. Part of the remaining wreckage of Wirraway A20-17 from 22 Squadron RAAF based at Richmond NSW, which crashed near Hazelbrook in 1940, in what is now the Blue Mountains NP.
