According to my research it's the highest single-drop waterfall in Australia. Next one is in NSW:

Not Jenolan or Kowmung Rivers, but I can see the resemblance. Some clues, I am in quite deep gorge country somewhere in country NSW (not Blue Mountains).

Not Gara Gorge Tony but you are very close. I am at a particular location at the bottom of a walk in another gorge.

Eggs, yes Dangars Gorge is the general location which has a number of features. I was hoping for the name of this spot?

Not Wollomombi Lizzy.

Sorry Tony, not Blue Hole but everyone was starting to get close.

eggs wrote:Salisbury Waters walk?

That's it eggs. I am at Salisbury Waters in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. It's the destination of the walk of the same name that commences near Dangars Falls. It is mostly an easy track but eventually you need to descend about 500m down into the gorge over a short distance, making for a fairly strenuous climb out. Spectacular country around there. Your go...

Not St Marys
The Flinders Ranges are a very long range. This is further north.

I wanted to post a photo from the ACT but I do not have it with me, so I am going back to NSW.

Name the range that I am standing on, if you can name the trig I am on and the two ranges in the distance.

This might take too long so I am going to give a clue or two (or three), it is in the jagungal Wilderness area and the camera is ponting east.

This is a tough one, I haven't been to this spot (I think) and we have to start somewhere. Are you on Grey Mare Mountain on the Grey Mare Range looking towards the Brassy Mountains and the Kerries?

Hi John,

You are close, this will give it away, I am further west, Greymare Range is one of the ranges in the photo.

Not Granite Knob trig on Scammells Ridge.

Another clue, there is a fire trail running along this range, the clue to the trig name is in This
might take too long so I am going to give a clue or two (or three), it is in the jagungal Wilderness area and the camera is ponting east.
there is mountain to the north with the same name.
