Is that Wollomombi Falls?

Quite a way from there (and closer to your previous shot), and more remote

[johnw]

Crooked Falls?

Crooked Falls?

Thats the one

[johnw]

Thanks. That's a spectacular photo, although difficult to research without much experience of the area.
I think yours would be the best, and possibly only photo online from that viewpoint/angle?

From my doddle knee rehab walks in the ACT a few weeks ago:

Rock Valley Homestead, Tidbinbilla NR via Tharwa ACT

It's a place I'd like to get back to with better light, although I think regrowth will defend that area pretty staunchly for years to come. That photo was taken about 2 years ago... at the time the scrub was only light between Mt Cole and Angel Creek but *&%$#! awful north of the creek (although from the camping cave at the cliffs above the top of the falls to the spur that the photo was taken from was ok going). Can't imagine what it would be like down there now.

Although I've had very little experience around there, my son has done quite a few overnight and multiday trips in the area.
He's often told me in recent times that it's gone from being clear open pads post 2019/20 fires to overgrown and difficult in many places.

Clues for the current photo. This wasn't actually a walk but I did wander around this historic property and a little beyond.
We had done a couple of short bushwalks earlier in the protected reserve in which it is situated.

[crollsurf]

I was thinking Lanyon Homestead.

No, but not far away. We drove past it on the way here. This place is within a reserve similar to a national park.

[johnw]

Broken it again, over 300 views and one guess. I mistakenly thought this would be really easy.

This place is within a reserve similar to a national park.

And said reserve adjoins a well known NP, which contains sections of an equally well known long distance walking track.
This historic property has a geological name of sorts.

Rock Valley Homestead in Tidbinbilla.

Rock Valley Homestead in Tidbinbilla.

Correct. I'm guessing as a local you would know it?

[Chev]

I've been to Tidbinbilla many times but never to this homestead. I'm about to head out for a couple of days so someone else should go.

[puredingo]

I’ll jump in if I may? A relatively easy one…
Where am I and what is the prominent feature I’m looking at?

[johnw]

Vengeance Peninsula, Bull Island left, Bull Island Peak (Alchemy Mtn) right. Lacys Tableland behind?

[puredingo]

Well, ummm YES! That was quick. Too easy for you John. Taken from the Axehead.

[johnw]

Thanks dingo. Full disclosure, google was my friend. I know of those places but haven't visited beyond Yerranderie.

NSW again:

Walking along the ridge towards Bonnum Pic, Nattai NP via Wanganderry NSW

Looks like you are your way out to Bonnum pic with Colong Mt in the far distance.

Yes, walking along all those moon rocks. Too easy.

[puredingo]

Not sure if I’ve posted this before but if I have then getting for your chop! In SA.

Bluff Lookout, Port Pirie?

If I'm correct anyone can go next. I'm at sea most of the next week.

[puredingo]

You are correct so it’s open slather!!

[peregrinator]

Victoria.

Looks volcanic. Budj Bim/Mt Eccles?

[peregrinator]

Correct. I've not seen other photographs of it from this angle. I.e. from the approach road. Perhaps because people would be driving on the road from Macarthur, whereas I walked in from there.

Thanks peregrinator, looong time since I've been there. Next, NSW
