Correct eggs,
and on the left a bit further back you can just make out Glennies Chair and Mt Glennie on the 'border route'

I wondered whether you wanted the others - as they are in NSW.

Where am I in SA?

Hills of the Painted Desert between Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta?

It was not the name I was after and checking on the web there appears to be some ambiguity with the term "Painted Desert".
Certainly, this formation conforms to the pattern that defines the Painted Desert, but that official name is for an area north east of this shot.

This was taken at a different special reserve not far from a major town.

I am surprised that no one has got this yet.

Clue, I am on the Main range looking south, the peak is very near the Victorian Border.

Hi Tony, I did muck around with this last night but kept thinking you are somewhere around Consett Stephen Pass/Rolling Ground, and I couldn't find a matching view from my own shots or on the web. I'm now thinking that you may be in the Ramsheads looking at The Pilot?

Hi John,

You have it, it is The Pilot and we where near Rams head, great views to the south.

Your turn John.

OK next one. This is probably too easy so I'll try and make it a bit more interesting. Name at least 4 of the QLD peaks visible in this shot AND name the summit I'm standing on.

Glasshouse Mountains QLD. Viewed from Mt Beerburrum, clockwise from left - Mt Beerwah, Mt Coonowrin (Crookneck), Mt Ngungun, Mt Tibrogargan, Mt Tibberoowuccum. Faintly visible behind Mt Ngungun is Mt Coochin (or Coochin Hills)

Well done mountman :). A short stroll up the steep paved track of Mt Beerburrum near sunset revealed that expansive view of the Glasshouse Mountains. Your turn...

Correct Bluegum Mic, it is the very basic Botherum Plain Hut in Kosciuszko NP. A short side trip on the walk to Kalkite Mountain from the Gungarlin River camping area. Your turn...

Are you camped below the south ridge of Mt Kosciuszko, on the opposite side and to the west of Lake Cootapatamba?

Too far :-)

I'm in a valley that has 3 peaks surrounding it. One to the north, one to the south and one to the east. This place is quite sheltered however exposed to the west. And water is plentiful :-)

Yes John I'm down next to wilkinsons creek...now what's the peak?? This should be easy as one of the three looks very different to the other two. Now which one of the two is it :-)
