Are you looking at the back of Bald Hill (now sometimes called Mt Hudson, after an SMH somebody, according to some recent maps) ?

Hi Climberman,

I have just checked my maps and I could not find a Bald Hill in the area, there is Far Bald Mountain but that is much further to the north east.

We are actually looking at Strumbo Range with Rocky Bogong Hill, Grey Mare Bogong and Bulls Head Rock.

Hi climberman,

I have just found Bald Hill (now sometimes called Mt Hudson) it is actually called Mount Hudson or Adaminaby trig on the latest maps and we are not looking in that area.

Hey Tony you sent me west from Grey Mare, no wonder I was confused :). I then misinterpreted the "clue" as meaning Clews and ended up somewhere near Major Clews Hut, which I've visited (by 4WD not walking) :lol:. All good fun, I need to visit more of these places in the north of KNP.

Hi John,

There is some great walking to be had in the Jagungal Wilderness area, I especially like the western area like the Tooma river, Pretty Plain, Wheelers Hut.

I am off to bed so I will reveal the answer I was looking for, I am standing on Toolong trig which is on the Dargals Range, I am looking at the Strumbo Range with Grey Mare range starting to the right of the photo.

Whoever want to go next feel free to post the next photo.

Where is this in NSW? The name of the falls or the name of the river.

From NSW. I need the name of the location where I took this shot. Bonus points for naming the features in view (the easy bit).

Hi Tony, Not Sreng Boss which is around where the stairs ascend to the Breadknife etc. Although we had been up there earlier in the day, the track I'm on doesn't go to the Grand High Tops at all.

Yes, Fans Horizon in the Warrumbungles it is eggs. We'd finished the Grand High Tops circuit in light rain and whiteout conditions, all the while hoping it would lift so we could see something. Almost back and the weather improved (sort of) so we quickly shot up the track to Fans Horizon and finally got some intermittent views. Your go.

DaveGwy has it - Rainbow Beach - where the cars come down onto the beach.
There are coloured sand cliffs all the way along into the far distance.

Nice spot eggs.
Here's one...
Which Nat. Park is it taken from? And can you name the peaks? (One on the left should be a give away.)

Actually - I don't.

Peaks at the back I know - but I would have to research where you are. Maybe later.
