Well, I see there is a Winifred Falls. Maybe that could be it? Not that I've been following any of the other clues. Nor am I am a fan of said pianist.

Correct peregrinator! I know of the late Winifred Atwell but very little about her, just a convenient clue. I doubt she has any connection to the waterfall. All yours.

This is part of a large formation which will be known by many. (Even by many non-bushwakers.) The angle of my approach was not one used by many.

It looks a lot like Wilpena Pound but that seems way too obvious.

Sandym, making this "way too obvious" was my intention. I'm glad to know you judged this because "it looks a lot like" it. It's the northern end of Wilpena Pound, viewed from the Heysen Trail at the western side of Wilcolo Creek. About halfway between Bunyeroo Gorge and Wilpena.

Next time I'll go for obvious!
NSW and could be equally as obvious as Peregrinator's.

Not obvious, obvious.
Very near the ACT/NSW border.

Hint number two: Usually walked up from the south. But you can also come from the north.

Obviously it has to be Quito, in Ecuador on the Equator. Latitude: 0° 15' 0" N. On an unusually rare foggy tropical day.

Close Peregrinator. That is, of course, Marc Leclerc on the first winter solo ascent of Cerro Torre.
I am sure dozens of people on this forum have been up this mountain as there is a track all the way to the top. Hint number three in case anyone is counting.
