Seeing I am on a winner with two of my
places remaining unknown, where do you think this place is?
It should be dead easy for people that have been here.
So come on brains trust, where is this place?
Where am I?

Sorry RMD,
Not
Pugilist Hill Lookout.
Correct State, but a lot further west

This is the view from on top of Pugilist
Hill RMD, so you can see it is very different to my "Pick this Place"

Stephen
The initial photo only shows the top of the
hill and very far off hills. So owe can only assess the small area, ie, No foreground below
hill, or surrounds. The later photos don't show the "where are we" at all and only distance ground and NO actual close up of where the camera was positioned. If I did that with some of my photos you would NEVER guess where.

I wanted to get the full tower in, and if I went any closer, it would have cut it out.
Anyone that has driven to
the summit of Mt Ive would know where it is, and it is no harder than other
Pick this Place images that have been on the
forum.
A classic the other week was the
Lighthouse post office cave, which very few would have ever seen with access from the water off shore and for
Lighthouse inspectors only, so in view of that, Mt Ive is accessible to anyone , so to me would have been easy to identify if you had driven up there.
Cheers

Lots of lookers, but only 1 reply.
Is it a case of the cats got your tongue and you don't want to reply, or people don't travel to the easy
places?
Here are a couple more images that should prompt your memory if you have been here.
There is an old Survey Stone Cairn at the top of the hill

Headed up that way when we stayed at Mt I've station reckoned it was a bit rocky so turned back we did the other drives OK all good. Cheers

It’s just a very slow, low range 1st drive. Not hard, just very rocky.
Great 360 degree
views from the top.
