Where is it?

[Cuppa]

Thought I'd try a new thread & see where it goes.

Someone posts a pic of somewhere in Australia that they've been, or something they've seen & the rest of us have to guess where it is. Person who guesses the correct answer post the next pic .... or asks someone else to if they have no pic.

Poster of the pic may choose to give clues if required.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Where would you find this chap?

[Maxhead]

Im sure this is in Tarcutta on the Hume Hwy?????

[Cuppa]

Sorry Nisshead, wrong state.

[Winnie]

I know this one I've been there before. But I won't answer because I don't really have a photo to post up

[Maxhead]

Ok, I remember seeing this on a brochure for Winton in QLD, unfortunatelly we didn't make it there...??? I was thinking something else before :(

[Cuppa]

Go for it Winnie, if correct you can invite someone else to post another pic.

Cuppa

Edit: Too late, Nisshead picked it. Winton it is, Home of Waltzing Matilda, written by Banjo Patterson. Over to you Nisshead.

Nope, right state tho.

[jack]

Yeap I recognise the pic as well, it was taken by Nisshead himself. I won't answer as I'm on iPad and don't have a pic to post.

[Maxhead]

If you gus want to answer then you can nominate someone else to post a pic if you want....

[jack]

Ok, Normanton and Threedogs to post a pic

[Bloodyaussie]

I thought it was the one at Australia zoo but obviously not??

Dammit! I just read backwards through your trip report to find krys the croc from normanton but I was too late

FanTapstic!

[Cuppa]

Go for it TD.

Just as a means of keeping things going, if someone makes a correct guess but has no pic available to post at the time, rather than nominating someone else specific (who may or may not have a pic handy), how about an open invitation to post the next pic be issued?

Not Tassie

FanTapstic!

[ozzymalone]

Here are a couple of guesses because these rocks all look the same at different angles and are all in the same vicinity...Bald Rock, The Pyramid, Mt Norman> Bald Rock NP/Girraween NP

Ooops....didn't see the hole through it! Wrong!

[Cuppa]

Nope none of you are in the right state yet. Apologies if I appear to have misled, it is NOT volcanic. The hole in the top is visible in the pic, I didn't mean to hint that it had an unseen crater.

[threedogs]

Would it be a bald Hill lol

[TPC]

Would i be correct in saying its not in SA?

[jack]

Is it in the Bendigo region?

[Cuppa]

Not in Vic,
Not in Tassie,
Not in SA,
Not in NSW.

Am off to the Patrol for some more rubbing down. May offer up a clue later if no one is any warmer. In the meantime check out the plant life - it may offer some idea........

Oh bugger it here's a clue ...... it's coastal.

[rusty_nail]

got me stumped!

[Cuppa]

OK..... It's not in NSW, Vic, Tassie or SA........ it's coastal........... the hill's name has something to do with a frenchman & it is close to where this pic was taken & it's in a National Park.

The name of either the nearest town, or of the NP wins.

Supplying the name of the hill, or the beach where the roos are gets you an elephant stamp. :)

Edit: AND the nearest town is 56kms away, but you can drive all the way on the beach if you wish.
