[donh54]

Just straying back to the original post - the track at Leyburn wasn't Morgan Park it was an ex WW2 bomber base, had three main runways in a triangular shape. It is about 4 kays from the village of Leyburn, where they hold annual sprint meetings.
Morgan Park is a top class racetrack just a few kays out of Warwick, surrounded by other horsepower related facilities, (1/8th mile dragstrip, polocrosse fields, three-day eventing course, and there was a mud racing track).

[KarlB]

Well, I've never really learned how to post pictures successfully on here, so I'll post this old movie poster. What Qld town is associated closely with this movie? Bob

I suspect the answer you are looking for is Augathella, where the movie was going to be made but that fell through. The movie was eventually made at Camden (NSW) and at the old Pagewood Studios in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. The movie is set in the fictitious town of Murrumbilla (the real Murrumbilla is near Narrabri, NSW). Smiley author (Neville Ernest) Moore Raymond, was born at Pimpana in Queensland. As a child he lived in Pampana, Augathella and Sharon near Bundaberg.

Interestingly, Moore Raymond is not as well known as his younger brother Bob Raymond who older forumites may remember for his current affairs and nature writings, and TV journalism.

Cheers
KarlB
:)

[bob10]

Correct. The author of the book that the movie was based on was the son of the Augathella school teacher. He wrote about his best mate, Didey Creevy. Augathella sits just about in the right spot for some one driving from Brisbane to Longreach to have a break. Well worth spending a day or two here, good pub too. Bob

They made a catchment/containment system around said monolyth (whichever it is) for waterint stck, and indeed the house if I recall correctly.

[Outback 1]

lake everard

[Chops]

Narala Rock?

[KarlB]

Hmm .. the clues are starting to be solved ... but we are not quite there yet ... so lets simplfy the clues: Lake Everard Station is the general locality; the place is on the road to/from Goog's Track (or Goog's Lake); and it is not Lois Rock nor Narlara Rock (Rockhole).

Another clue:

[Chops]

Well, I dont know, the only thing I can work out is Waverly Hill/Koonduca according to OziExplorer, but then I'm not confident on how to use it :angel:

Using your info with Google, it shows me a track intersection, but unfortunately, the picture clarity's not good enough to tell whats quite what. And of course, its not going to give the name of the "tank/watershed".

I think I'll have to forage around the Leyland files ;) , I'm sure thats where I originally spotted it.

[V8Ian]

Marcus, I used Hema Explorer.

Did that, Xtreme has it. Childara rock. It says 60m south of Tarcoola. [ I assume that would be miles ]

[carlschmid2002]

Google maps calls it Childara Rockhole. We have had Childara Rock, Childara Waterhole. I certainly haven't been there.

[KarlB]

Digger wins.

As carlschmid2002 says Childara Rock is also called Waterhole and Rockhole, or even just Childara.

I am surprised it was so hard, and that obviously few have visited the place.

The Burial Register is accessible from here:

You're all wandering off again. The road is easy to identify by googling Dalhousie Springs and looking at one of the pictures on one link near the top of the results. The exact location isn't important, I took the picture in 1996 and didn't have a GPS yet. Which road was I on?

[Bushie]

The road from Mt Dare down through Christmas well - Opossum waterhole - Dalhousie.

but honestly it could be the road from Hamilton through Pedirka (as others have said) to Dalhousie,

or it could be plenty of other roads through that area (or plenty of SA for that matter)

The most popular way in to the springs is from Mt Dare Station. This track can be very corrugated . It also gets slippery and muddy after rain!https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/699.jpg

Dalhousie Springs - An Outback Oasis (http://traveloutbackaustralia.com/dalhousie-springs.html/)

[Redback]

Well, if we're talking wells:
Cherrikana Waterhole
Memory Bore

Didn't see a bore in the photo. Just stones.

What about Hamilton Station? Hamilton Station road?

That makes this the winner then??

[Mick_Marsh]

I reckon you're using this thread to find the locations of the photo's in you're photo album so you can label them.

[bee utey]

You could be right, I don't know the local name for the Mt Dare to Dalhousie road so you'll all have to work it out for yourselves. :)

Haha, I know exactly what road I was on, we after all made it all the way to Birdsville via the Rig Road with four 2WDs in a bunch, except me who did part of the French Line to Poeppel's corner.

That would make Bushie the winner.

OK Bushie, what exotic location will you post up for us to guess?

[BMKal]

OK the track I'm on carries a LOT less traffic than the Birdsville Track.

I'm trying to work out what the car is .................. is that a P76 wagon ? :eek:

[BMKal]

Ah ................. I should have looked at the googleweb before asking.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/696.jpg

A rare beast indeed - I've never even seen one of these, and I used to be a bit of a fan of the P76. ;)

I always state that it's not rare, it's unique. There's only one hand made lift back P76 wagon, and it's my creation. I've still got it but it's retired after a full and adventurous life. There is in fact one factory wagon still in existence and that's in Sydney I believe. Anyway, enough thread digression, where are we now?

[Bushie]

Where now

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/690.jpg

Martyn

[Xtreme]

Dunns Swamp

[carlschmid2002]

Is it in Tasmania?

[Xtreme]

Is it in Tasmania?

Not if it's Dunn Swamp - that's east of Rylstone in NSW

[Bushie]

Dunns Swamp

That didn't take long - Dunnes Swamp looking back to the NPWS camp area.


Martyn

[Xtreme]

Often visited area Martyn so it was obvious from first sighting. Although I avoid the NPWS camping area (usually too crowded) and usually view the 'swamp' from a somewhat higher elevation to the west - gives a good overall view of the snaking nature of the watercourse.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/656.jpg

[Xtreme]

Now for a new area.
The 'road' to this beautiful campsite is along the beach you see in the 'graph.
What we're after here is the name of the bay and it's general location.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/655.jpg

[carlschmid2002]

Etty Bay near Innisfail

[Xtreme]

Nowhere near Innisfail.
Location is in a somewhat cooler clime than Innisfail so head south.

[digger]

Wineglass bay in Tassie? Pure guess as I d ont know if you can drive on the beach there

[Xtreme]

Correct state digger but not Wineglass bay - only walking access to beach there.
Continue in a generally southerly direction.

[carlschmid2002]

I think it's called Ocean Beach from memory, it's down near Port Arthur off Roaring Beach Road.

[Xtreme]

Ranging in - you now need to go SW

[bob10]

Wedge Bay? Near White Beach. Tas. Bob

[Xtreme]

Not Wedge Bay Bob.
You still need to travel SW and also take a 20 to 30 minute ferry trip on your way to this great camping spot.
You could also drop in a say g'day to JC on your way.

[BMKal]

Looks like Cloudy Bay or Adventure Bay on South Bruny Island.

[Redback]

Bay of Fires

[Xtreme]

You need to read the clues before replying Baz.

BMKal has it correct with Cloudy Bay - congratulations and over to you.

[BMKal]

BMKal has it correct with Cloudy Bay - congratulations and over to you.

It helps that we camped just up the road from there for a few nights not that long ago. :D

This one was taken on the same trip ..................................

Many people on this forum will have been here. ;)

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/638.jpg

[Xtreme]

Sheffield, the town of murals.

My most recent trip to the area was last Feb.

3 spots given, had to be one of them, so had no other choices really, had to be one of them:angel:

[Xtreme]

OK lets move back to the north island.
Here's two 'graphs of the upper and lower sections of the same waterfall.
As usual, name and general area required.

The dead centre of town.

[KarlB]

Havilah Memorial Church, between Mudgee and Lue.

For those interested in such things, here is the cemetery index: http://austcemindex.com/cemetery.php?id=327 , where you can find a bit about the dear departed who fed the worms (go to http://austcemindex.com/index.php?id=327).

Last one for me for a while.

Clue: I see the colours ... but where are the Harleys ... where am I ...?

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/529.jpg

Cheers

[KarlB]

... no Harleys ... and no outlaw club house ... I thought they would be here ... that must tell you something ...

[Chenz]

Looks very much like Mt Finke off Googs Track in South Australia

Mt Davidson Sth Australia? :angel:

edit:.. I suspect Chenz may well be right!..... no chockies for me.....

[KarlB]

Chenz gets it. Over to Chenz ...

[Chenz]

Up with the Eagles in the same state as the previous location

[Dopey]

Mount Finke?

[Mick_Marsh]

Mt Caernarvon stone cairn Flinders Ranges

[Xtreme]

It's been a while since I've been there but is it St Mary Peak at Wilpena Pound?

[Dopey]

I think Mick_Marsh has got it!
Did a google picture search of Mt Caernarvon and found a pic of the same stone cairn.
I'm several hundred Klms away with my pic location.
Regards,
Mike.

[Chops]

You bugger Mick, I just found it in the Edjits report :D
Just too quick :p

[V8Ian]

Knowing Mr Marsh it will be something obtuse. ;) Fire away Mick. :)

[Mick_Marsh]

Nah. Not really.
A bit closer to home. I must go and camp there again one weekend I loved the place. Very relaxing weekends and much fun if it rained.
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/398.jpg (http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/mick_marsh_AULRO/media/REMLR/AJs101.jpg.html)

[scarry]

That should be what am i,not where am i?:D

[V8Ian]

Pure guess, Wombat? There's not a lot of landscape to see with the 101 parked there.

[Mick_Marsh]

Nah. Not Wombat. I don't think there is that much water at Wombat.
Sadly, that is the only photo I have of the place with me at the moment. I'll have to borrow someone else's.

I look at this photo and recognise the place instantly. Like I said, much fun when it rains.
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/397.jpg (http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/mick_marsh_AULRO/media/muddytrack.jpg.html)

[V8Ian]

Melrose.

[Mick_Marsh]

Not Melrose. Even less water there.

Time for another pic? Another one borrowed from the same fellow as the last one.
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/04/392.jpg (http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/mick_marsh_AULRO/media/beach.jpg.html)

See. More water.

[Bushie]

Somewhere around Neds Corner/Lindsay Island on the Murray.

Martyn

[Mick_Marsh]

Nah. Not in that area.
Closer than Ian though.

[Chops]

I'm guessing Cobram, Barooga State Forest maybe?

[Mick_Marsh]

Getting closer.
Mmmmm... Cobram. Peaches and cream.

[carlschmid2002]

Pericoota or Koondrook Stae Forest vicinity of Cohuna and Barham.

[Mick_Marsh]

No.
But if I was in the water, I would be in NSW.
I regularly traveled interstate to cool down.

[Dopey]

Near the bushland caravan park at Tocumwal?
Mike.

[Mick_Marsh]

No.
If I walked from there into the water, I would not be traveling interstate.

[Xtreme]

Ulupna Beach west of Tocumwal?

[Dopey]

Ulupna Beach west of Tocumwal?

Bugger, you might have it.... Forgot about the Ulupna island, but the pics posted reminded me of Tocumwal area.

Mike.

[Mick_Marsh]

Ulupna Beach west of Tocumwal?
Closer than I was willing to accept. Well done.
I think it is Ulupna Beach but it is certainly Barmah National Park Ulupna Island.
Where to now?


Edit: Just had a look. Yep, Ulupna beach.

[Redback]

Carters Beach, Ulupna Island, in Ulupna Island State Forest.

Baz.

[Mick_Marsh]

Carters Beach, Ulupna Island, in Ulupna Island State Forest.

Baz.
A tad late. Mike got it.

[Redback]

I was correcting the mastakes, it's Carters Beach Campground, not Ulupna Beach:p

[Chenz]

You bugger Mick, I just found it in the Edjits report :D
Just too quick :p

Isn't using the Edjits report sort of cheating:o

You are correct it is Mt Carnarvon. It was bloody freezing that day. But it did not prevent my axuillary battery boiling and almost blowing up - dropped a cell

[Mick_Marsh]

Ulupna Beach west of Tocumwal?
C'mon Roger.
Where to now?

You're up.

[Xtreme]

C'mon Roger.
Where to now?

You're up.
Thanks for the clarification Mick, situation was becoming a bit confused.
I'll check photos in the morning any get things back on track. :D ;)

Cheating? Who me? Cheating,,, ? That would be like aaaaa cheating even :angel:

[Xtreme]

An action shot from a recent trip that should give a clue to the location and may even get some of the pedal power members involved.
