Correct. To the distinctive S-E corner of the Wilpena Range, from near Martins Well Road, base of Mt Havelock.

Thanks peregrinator, remains on my bucket list. Sorry for the delay, a bit distracted the past couple of days.

I'll try Brachina Creek, because it's the only place I've seen water in recent times. But the geology seems to suggest it could be elsewhere.

Rawnsley Bluff [Wilpena Pound] on the left, Chace Range on the middle/right, but I am thinking you might have been on Mt Ide?

Eggs, you've named two correctly. One to go.

If it is not Mt Ide, then maybe the Elder Range?
When was it taken?

Elder Range is correct. So the elevation is considerably higher than Mt Ide.

The track goes past the side of this one.
