Lake McKenzie is correct, heading back there in October.
Over to you ozzymalone

[ozzymalone]

Will have to give someone else a turn....Still haven't worked out how to upload images! (But I have some good places in mind darnit!)

[taslucas]

One trip, 18 months, rusty. 2008/2009. Would be lucky if we've seen even 5% of the country. Hoping to see a lot more before I start pushing up daisies.

All I can say is WOW MAN! That's an impressive map. I'm very jealous indeed. I did notice that you missed the continent if tasweegia. Maybe next trip hey?:-)

FanTapstic!

[rusty_nail]

hey ozzie, its really not that hard, ive attached some pics for you hopefully that will help.

[ozzymalone]

Where is it?

Here we go....try this one

[Cuppa]

Wild guess - Queensland - somewhere a bit inland from Rollingstone or Cardwell?

[ozzymalone]

Wrong state (But I know the falls you are thinking about!).....Its in a pretty 'green' area. (There may be a clue in that)

[Cuppa]

All I can say is WOW MAN! That's an impressive map. I'm very jealous indeed. I did notice that you missed the continent if tasweegia. Maybe next trip hey?:-)

Thanks. Hope to get across the water some day.
If you want to see a really impressive map check out the one on this page (http://www.byles.net/www.oka4wd.com/members-vehicles-public/569-oka196-xt-motorhome). Belongs to a friend of mine from Adelaide who has a 4wd OKA motorhome he built himself. He & his wife took us over Skytrek in the Flinders ranges in it.

Next guess on the waterfall....... next state down ........ in one of the northern NSW national parks close to the border?

[ozzymalone]

Correct Cuppa....it's NSW. I will accept the Falls name or the NP name (They are different). Close to the border yeppers.....couldn't get there in a "straight" line thou, ;)

[Cuppa]

Minyon Falls?

[ozzymalone]

You are so close cuppa....right NP wrong falls!

[Cuppa]

Well I guess it has to be Protester Falls, Nightcap National Park then. Have seen Minyon, but don't think we saw Protester.

[ozzymalone]

You have it! Over to you Cuppa! .....Protesters are well worth the visit when in the area. Nothing like standing at the base of them and looking up until you're neck can no longer arch back any further. They are perfectly framed by cliffs that look like they have been cut by man as they are all perfect square cutouts! I love this place....and it's resident Spotted Python that is about 15ft long (last time I was there) that just lazes around the rocks. Its like my spiritual homeland!

[Cuppa]

Ok, anyone recognise where this is?

[threedogs]

Is it a hill near Birdsville?????????????????
Big Red

[Cuppa]

Ya got your Elephant Stamp TD. :)
It's the first dune you come to at the beginning of the Simpson Desert, coming from Birdsville. Not sure if it's Big Red or not. At the time we thought it was, but were told later that Big Red is the next one in, but that lots of people think this one is it. The steep part is off to the left of the pic. We rode out there from Birdsville on our bikes & parked the bikes at the bottom just out of shot. As we were leaving two 2wd station wagons, one towing a trailer arrived. The next day we met their owners in Birdsville. They had assumed that we had just ridden over the dune, thought therefore it would be manageable in their cars (duh!) & charged straight at it without even bothering to check it out. Of course they got well & truly bogged & spent several hours sweating in 40 degrees getting themselves out. By the time they told us their story & on realising that we hadn't ridden our bikes over they could see the funny side of it. :) These were the blokes that told us that it wasn't Big Red!!!

Your turn TD.

[threedogs]

In 1980 I worked on the Ghan line which is /was from Adelaide to Alicesprings, now it runs right through to Darwin
A couple of mates have done the trip with their wives and can highly recommend abliet a tad pricey

Double decker bus might be best clue, think thats still there

Regarding the bus. There are apparently several of these yellow double deckers all at different locations throughout the outback. I saw one behind the now closed Betoota Hotel between Windorah & Birdsville, but it's not TD's one.

Agree we should restrict our answers to one per post (even though I was guilt of not doing so earlier).

Btw Lawn Hill was one of our favourite places. We were there quite late in the season, 47 degrees, stayed for 10 days or so, & had the whole gorge to ourselves except for one night. Even kayaked up the gorge & camped out on the little 'jetty' next to the water fall. Brilliant. Did the climb up to the top too ....... but would not have recognised the place from the pic shown. It never occurred to me it might be Lawn Hill. Best was just after dawn seeing huge flocks of budgies doing aerobatics over the water as we floated along. The camp down by the river at Gregory Downs was pretty special too.

it was one of our favourite spots as well, pure paradise. Not that hot but we had around 30...lol. The bird singing is just amazing. We camped at the free camp spot at Gregory Downs as the river spot was totally full. We had a local guy there who would drink till 2-3am every night but kept to him self,,,lol

I have worked my way across there eventually TPC. :) My recollection of Fowlers Bay was cold windy & grey weather, a very grumpy woman in the shop & walking out on the Jetty before deciding not to stay. The compacted salt road driving in was interesting , as were the lakes - pink on one side of the road & blue a few metres away on the other side. We ended up staying at a great surfers camp at Cactus Beach.



Here's a chance for someone new to put up a pic ................anyone?

We stayed in the caravan park at Fowlers if you can call it that, it was half concrete and half compacted rock and shell grit. Never had so much trouble hammering in tent pegs, probably would have been easier to peg into the concrete.

Also at the Devils Marbles. It is a good spot. There were a couple of youngsters camped in a tent near to us. They had left a few belongings on the ground outside of their tent. Just after first light I found the dingo rummaging through their stuff, it had taken the lid off an esky & was into the ice. The other pic is at sunset.

[Cuppa]

Close enough, it is Cooktown, the hill on which the bike is parked is the Grassy Hill Lookout. I loved Cooktown. We camped a bit south of the Daintree & rode the bikes up there via the Bloomfield Track, went to the Wallaby Creek music festival at Rossville (just south of the Lions den Hotel) & then rode back again, before then returning to Cooktown with our bus via the bitumen.

OK disregard the last one as its too hard. It was only a place we camped in the middle of no where ...not even sure it had a name..

[Cuppa]

I reckon your too hard camp spot is probably in the WA goldfields somewhere. :)

And I think your subsequent pics are in Central Australia, but I won't be specific for now to give someone else an opportunity.

I am not sure if you could see these from Brachina Gorge Road, these hills have a name and were in a famous painting.

Don't know about the painting, but I wonder if it's the same hills as in this pic? I'll guess the 'Heysen Range'. I think this pic was taken on the road which led us to the 'Razorback Lookout'.

Aroona Valley

Aroona Valley
That is close enough, the picture is of "The Three Sisters of Aroona" which feature in a painting by Hans Heysen and can be seen from the old Aroona Homestead.

Your turn, you must have more pics than the rest of us with all the places you have been.

[rusty_nail]

been and seen. i know bugger all of these places, but i want to visit all of them! thanks for sharing all these pics, they make me proud to be an australian

[Cuppa]

Thanks TPC, I must admit that I had to follow up your clues with some extensive Googling to get close on that one.

Thanks rusty-nail. It's good to know that others find the thread of interest even if not participating. I expect that participation will continue to rise & fall, but it's always good to have different folk putting up pics. We all live somewhere & most of us have a camera of some sort. A shot of Elizabeth St, Melbourne is just as relevant as one of the Birdsville Hotel dunny.

Ok here is one with what I reckon are some fairly obvious clues in the pic, so I expect it won't last long.
I found the variety of goods being advertised quite amusing. Where is it?

Yes the mentally ill horse does ring a bell :)

Rundle Mall (formerly street) it is. Asking for the name of the mall seemed too easy, but it was anyway. I guess if you've ever seen the pigs you don't forget where you've seen them.Personally I reckon it's amongst the best street art I've seen.
