According to my research it's the highest single-drop waterfall in Australia. Next one is in NSW:
- Salisbury Waters via Dangars Gorge - Oxley Wild Rivers NP, near Armidale 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?

Dangar Gorge, Armidale, was my next guess, had to do some work.

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

The Flinders Ranges are a very long range. This is further north.

Thats it Tony
As with many things these days - the park has 2 names now - also called Vulkathunha.
This was sunrise over Mt McKinley from Steadman's Ridge [Did you notice it in my trip report?]

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 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?

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
there is mountain to the north with the same name.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.
