OK, here's something a bit different. The following pictures are in the Grampians. No secret there. In this part of the Grampians it looks a bit like a swamp, or the leftover from a flood but it's not. It is like this all year round. The water is clear and where it goes under the road in at least three places, it flows fairly fast.

Nearby this place is a sign. It is the only identifier of this place. What does the sign say?

Hey gingerboy, can you be a little more specific?

Wikipedia, which can't be wrong, says the snow river travels 352km from source to mouth. Are you able to give a more exact location?

How about the 'Lost City' in Litchfield NP?

[FNQGU]

Nope, and nope....the rock is described by many as having a resemblance to ET when viewed from a certain angle.

A bit of extra perspective. Let me know if it is too small a photo.

[FNQGU]

Ok, maybe a bit hard for some, but Cuppa, judging by a couple of your previous pics, you must have been close to this one... It is NT.

[Cuppa]

I'm pretty certain we haven't been along that road.
Pretty sure it's not Keep River or Gregory NP's, & not the Macdonnell ranges, which probably means it's in Kakadu. It looks right for Kakadu, but where I'm not sure. Seems like quite a 'major' dirt road. I'll guess at the road to Jim Jim falls as that's one we didn't go on. Am I any warmer?

Cuppa

Arnhem Land, not that far past your dragonfly shot. I think I have these pics which look very close to where your dragonfly was. Possibly just looking the other way.

Note that last rock formation - some reckon there is a rooster in that, whilst some others have been drawn to think there is a Kiwi in action there somewhere...

[Cuppa]

Ahhh. We stopped at Cahills Crossing. Arnhemland is one of my dreams. What I'd really love would be to find a reason to get to know Arnhemland over a year or more, without just being a tourist. If anyone has contacts and or experience working in Arnhemand I'd be very interested in hearing from you. It'll probably be a year or two before we can get up there, but I'd love to be able to develop contacts with communities up there.

Sorry, Cuppa!

I understood what you meant, just not why you were saying it. :) A reasonable point to make, Woods Point which could be anywhere in Australia, is in fact between Walhalla & Jamieson, North Gippsland, Vic.

Identifying places both by name & location is something we should strive to do. Sometimes it's easy to forget that the name of a place is insufficient for others to locate it.

TD, We are waiting for someone to correctly guess Winnie's little house on the tree stump....... any ideas?

Wife & I must have been amongst the few Australians who missed all the coverage. We spent some time in remote jungle parts of Vanuatu whilst it was all happening. Flew back into Oz & had an overnighter in Melbourne before returning home. Sitting in a cafe having brekky in the morning I was reading a newspaper in which there was something about some disaster that had occurred. The article clearly made assumptions about what was common knowledge. I asked someone where Beaconsfield was & they looked at me strangely & asked if I had been on another planet. Comparing our surroundings then to what they had been like a few days previously it did feel like we had indeed been on another planet!

Packsaddle /Milparinka ish way
Maybe even new buiding at Innaminka
Great looking building/homestead

[pearcey]

TD your guessing but yes Milprinka
It is an original building and now houses the information center.Quite a few buildings are being re furbished and this was just one.
When we were there a few years ago there was free camping along side the pub and the folks in the info center were most helpful.

[Cuppa]

I went to Milparinka once, about 23 years ago. Our first experience of the outback.It was virtually a ghost town, certainly no info centre, about half a dozen residents, including the young lad who did his best to sell me a lizard, & the pub. That was about it. I thought the pub had closed down since. Sounds like it's a relative metropolis these days.

Left 'town' after a couple of sherbets in the pub. Driving our old HQ Premiere station Wagon (Nellie) 253, Trimatic auto & limited slip diff, & towing a trailer with our two trail bikes on it, headed for Tibooburra with intent to camp out in the Sturt Stoney desert. After driving for around 45 minutes we saw a 4wd coming toward us in the distance. He stopped some distance away from us & waved us down as we drew close, & asked where we were heading to. We told him, & he grinned, telling us we were on the wrong road, @ was at pains to tell us that had we not been lucky enough to come across him, we'd have kept driving until we ran out of fuel in the middle of the desert.

He was most helpful when we past through as we need to do some welding, he found and supplied everything we needed and left us to do the welding only charged for a few rods and a bit of power, a true gent. Windorah is a very tidy and neat town but if you just blow through you can miss some sights

Never been inside, only guessing by the gal iron roof.

[Cuppa]

Yep Betoota it is. A mate of mine had a few beers there when it was still open. He reckoned that the publican sized up his customers & charged according to whether he liked them or not. If he liked you, you got charged the normal rate, if he didn't each successive beer cost 50 cents more than the last one. He was the publican there for many years, & then sold out to another at a very good price. The new owner failed to make a go of it in this very isolated spot, & two years later sold it back to Simon, the original publican, for a song.

[P4trol]

Termite mound on the RH side, and a tree that loses its leaves. Grass is green and looks like it gets regular water, ie coastal rain.

[pearcey]

Yes P4trol it certainly gets coastal rain and possibly a bit of sea spray

[nuts1957]

Fort Lytton

[nuts1957]

But ya can only see it from this position not the river

[TPC]

Not the one that went off in Yeppoon is it?

[pearcey]

Sorry guys all wrong
Hint it`s on an island

[pearcey]

TCP
Yeppoon is a great little coastal town .When we visited there a couple of years ago there was a museum dedicated to the great Peter Brock.
Sadly it`s not there any more. We spent close to 3 hours there as it was such a comprehensive collection of Peters memorabilia. A couple of his cars were not there as they were competing at a race meeting somewhere. Even worst was that my camera had packed it in a day or so earlier.

The Peter Brock Museum would have been great to see, what a bugger your camera wasn't working.

My next semi educated guess is Magnetic Island?

[pearcey]

No mate head north

[threedogs]

that one in Yepoon put a dirty big hole in a Torana, last of the big bangs
whats an island out from Brisbane or an island in a bay that's worth protecting something

[rkinsey]

Is it Fitzroy Island?

[TPC]

Dunk Island?

[MEGOMONSTER]

Dunk Island?
You mean Drunk island. Lol

[TPC]

You mean Drunk island. Lol

No that would be XXXX Island (Pumpkin Island)

Then again I could never drink enough of that XXXX shite to get drunk.

[pearcey]

Keep heading North guys
xxxx island hahahahahahaha so far I haven`t seen a chick on there. Those blokes would be about as good as the crap they drink .

[TPC]

Mornington Island?

[P4trol]

No that would be XXXX Island (Pumpkin Island)

Then again I could never drink enough of that XXXX shite to get drunk.

Considering the climate, XXXX is pretty good to drink when it's hot all the time. You need something that will hydrate you a tad too!

[pearcey]

North guys north, Island water all around it ,have to use boat to get there or may be a plane and its not on the eastern sea board but very close to it

[rkinsey]

Green Hill Fort, Thursday Island

[pearcey]

Correct rkinsey post one up
My old man was stationed the during ww2 and when we visited the island I know why he spoke so much about it.
He served all over the South Pacific but loved this place, and for me I will be going back to stay abit longer that the few hours we spent there last time

[rkinsey]

Woo Hoo! Heres one I found but you will probably all guess it straight away...... I've put two photos to maske it easier

[rkinsey]

First clue: Its in NSW

[pearcey]

Hawkesbury River

[rkinsey]

Close Pearcy.... almost.

Second clue: Its on the south coast and there is a Zoo nearby.

[TPC]

Tomaga River?

[rkinsey]

TPC. Bingo!

Its in a place now called Tomakin which changed from Sunpatch in the mid 1980's. This shot is of the old boat ramp that is right next to the house that my grandfather built back in the 1960's and where I spent quite a few school holidays swiming and fishing in the river right there. Fresh Oysters from the rocks, yabbies for bait and plenty of room to run around.

Magic place. Although it has changed from a very small village to a growing town with quite a lot more people now than ever before.

[pearcey]

Looks like Tony`s gone AWOL so I`ll thrown this one up

[TPC]

Sorry about that, I totally forgot.

I will have a wild guess at Cooktown Airport?
Know it will be wrong but you can give a clue with what direction it is.

[pearcey]

Sorry mate but you didn`t post and I thought you may have gone away
Any way you have to go north

[Cuppa]

On one of the Tiwi islands?

[threedogs]

Bamaga International Airport

[pearcey]

No cigar yet guys but getting close
And yes it`s on an island

[threedogs]

Montague or Melville island I'll go Melville

[pearcey]

Sorry Mr TD incorrect

[TPC]

Badu Island Airport?

[threedogs]

Is there an air strip on Lizard island, yeah right I can afford to go there

[growler2058]

Needham airport

[threedogs]

Norfolk Island then if not my other guess is Christmas Island
Or Cocos island lol

[pearcey]

Keep guessing guys and yes it is on an island

[GU CAMPER]

Is it Horn Island


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[threedogs]

Palm island, I take it, its an Australian Island and nth of the tropic of capricorn

[pearcey]

Good on you GU
Yes Horn island international airport. If you do Cape Yorke it`s well worth doing a tour of both Thursday and Horn Islands
Both islands are steeped in history and if like us you are lucky enough to get Vanessa Seekee OAM, of Torres Strait Heritage, the local historian and operator of the Horn Island hotel, motel,museum and Island tours you will get a one great tour as she has so much knowledge of the islands
Take it away GU.

[Cuppa]

Where do you fly from on the Cape?

[GU CAMPER]

You can catch a ferry across to horn and Thursday islands. There is also an airport at Bamaga.
A few others might know of other airports

Will have a look and see if I can find a good pic

Where does the ferry leave from? The tip itself or somewhere else? No way known will I miss out on getting across to the islands when I eventually get up there. Is the ferry for foot passengers only or does it take vehicles?

Seems the road to the tip is not really a challenge any more. A friend & his wife are up there at the moment, got up to the tip without difficulty in their 2wd, low clearance 7 metre, wide bodied Isuzu bus based motor home. Not sure if they were towing their Suzuki 4wd as usual. I asked how they went with river crossings, & they said there were just two, both with a ferry.

[pearcey]

G`day Cuppa
You can get to the top by 2wd by using the development road
4wd is only needed if you do the Telegraph track.
the ferry from Seisia is for foot traffic but you may be able to ship a vehicle from Cairns.
Check out Vanessa`s web site at www.intheirsteps.com
A trip to the tip is not complete without a trip to the islands

[Cuppa]

Thanks GU Camper, TPC & Pearcey, have stored away the info or use one day.

So do you have another location for us GU?

Cuppa

[taslucas]
