Bingo. Did the bike ride out there on less than optimal hotel MTBs.
The power lines on the left are a bit of a giveaway, but I'm too lazy to dig out a map of high voltage power lines in Victoria.
So I'll just guess Pine Mountain from the non craggy side.
Good on you @canestocks we've been stuck in the mud for a looong time
After four weeks of incorrect answers, perhaps, just perhaps, a fairly big clue might possible be a valid way to go?
I had to cheat but somehow knew to go straight to Porpunkah area. Think i may have driven that trail about 10 years ago, or perhaps saw it from Buffalo once??
I got no photos so someone else go.
Correct.
Gooches.
Sandmine out of shot to the left.
Pic taken 45 minutes stroll from the front door.Keep it quick. Name the canyon and bonus if you know how many abseils before this one.
Yes Wollemi but not Claustral. The Latin name is something a Vet would know. That would leave two choices (to the extent of my canyon knowledge). I am sure our resident Vet knows it but he has just posted a photo.
I broke a rib in a fall near the end of Claustral but still one of the best canyons.
And stripes.
Correct answer is zero. And this one can be downclimbed as well, by bridging above where the photo is taken from.
Very true. On this day we had a solo man overtake us with no gear. Our guests were first timers so better to be safer. So who wants to take over? I have a busy week ahead and hope to be out of contact for a few days if tomorrow delivers.
It delivered maybe too much. Aborted attempt today as the access was just too snowed in. Ended up towing a 2 tonne boat down the mountain for some people stuck in the snow on the highway. That was after an hour of digging to try and get them out. I would have a go at this one except we are trying plan B tomorrow. Maybe we all are a bit busy just now. That is a good thing.
