Pick This Place

I think I know where the first gate is, but of the others, I know not where. lol

Or a gate with no wear?

No Bugle in sight!

Or the POST that wasn't deleted

Hi Mike

Not part of the Dog Fence, but in the late 1800’s like many pastoral properties, they did have their internal vermin control fences.

Right state, but a lot lower south.

Cheers

Stephen

Would it be part of the rabbit proof fence into Wilpena Pound?

Sorry Mike, still further south

Getting closer Garry, but it’s still further south.

Yes Macca it’s definitely in the Southern Flinders and a magic spot

.
Hancocks Lookout indeed. And who could that be sitting on a rock?

Sorry both Ozjourney and Allan.

Hancocks Lookout is not as rough as this one and is in fact northeast of this near Wilmington.

To clear this up, the first image is from Hancocks Lookout looking towards Port Augusta....



Now if you go through the closed gate...that you can not open, this is the view looking to the west and very different from Hancocks Lookout.

Sorry Garry

Not Stokes Hill.

This great spot is still southeast of Stokes Hill, and this spot is a lot more rugged.

Hi Peter

Yes its gone quiet, as it looks like no one else seems to have been to this great place.

You are getting closer, but you now need to go further west.

Here is another hint.......

On top of that Range, you look down to the Willochra Plains.

Here is an image taken town on the Willochra Plains, with an old ruin and the Range is in the background.

I should have also said, that in the second photo, the gate is at the top of the Range in the Middle Hill, so why the gate is there is a mystery, as if you kept going through the gate.....its a very long way down to the Plains below and totally impossible to either walk or let alone drive, with one section a sheer drop

Thank you Stephen.
Working on your extra clues and trying to find an elevation where you might get that lovely view.
I cannot find your gate in any research and as I reckon your last shot looks more like hills than a mountain range I wonder if you might be at Oladdie Hill which does look over the plain with some nice views similar to what you have shown. I have actually been to the Oladdie mine and photographed there but have not climbed the hills behind but they do have some rugged rock sections.
(Not sure if you are aware but I see on the map another Stokes Hill, within the Horseshoe Range).
Am I close?

Peter

Well Done Peter, your persistence has paid off.

Photos never seem to give ranges any justice, but it is the Lookout on the Horseshoe Range.

The Low Range Drive is located at the great Horseshoe Top End, which is a magic place to camp.

Here is another view from the top of the Range, looking down at the track below and the Willochra Plains.

If you are ever in the area, don't overlook this great place.

We were typing at the same time and I found a Facebook page with a shot similar to your "ruins" take with the distinct ridge at the back.
The Facebook is Horsehoe Top End.

Check out the June 26 pic on their page which is close to where you stood.

Check out also a Facebook entry and pic on April 28.....all about your gate!

Looks a great place and on my bucket list to visit when next up that way.

Peter

It’s a little gem of a place that you never hear about Horseshoe Top End
