We just arrived in NT so have no idea. Seems the takers are getting few & far between, time for more of a hint or the answer I think.

Jon, you are right. I knew it would be a bit of a challenge, but am surprised that no one got it, because anyone who had been there would recognize the pic, I thought. It is the first campground (Garrandalng) in Keep River National Park. You would have recently passed the turnoff on your way from Kununurra to Timber Creek. This camp area is only about 20km from the highway, and the times we have been in there, the gravel road has been in good condition. The camp area is a series of places one can park and set up camp beside a circular road enclosing a central grass and scrub area. Composting toilet. Tables. Firepits with BBQ plates. Can get water from a point on the drive in. There is a wonderful short walk from the campground through an area of rocks/hills. There are some other great walks further into the park, and another camp area too. There area is reminiscent of the Bungles - maybe not quite a spectacular, but pretty damn good.
Jon, would you like to post a pic? Wendy

We did see the turnoff but we have heard since that a lot of the Keep River Nat park roads are still closed. We may have had a look but we had an appointment to volunteer caretake the Timber Creek Police Museum which has been closed for a while due to lack of nomads wanting to stay for a week or three.
Anyway try another pic as it's still your turn
Cheers

OK - surely this will be easier? What town is this near?
maybe you will get a chance to backtrack, if the tracks are open, after you have finished your stint there? How are you finding life in Timber Creek? Another place in the area that we like to camp at, just to get away from the crowds. is out at Bullita, in Gregory NP. However, those tracks are probably closed too; we have walked into Limestone Gorge a couple of times - never managed to find that track open.

We're loving it here. Don't know why other nomads wouldn't take up the offer of free elect, water & loo to camp in this lovely spot & take care of an excellent little museum with so much memorabilia to sift through. The surrounding countryside is beautiful & the Victoria River is an added bonus but it's a pity some of the national parks roads are still closed.
We will have to close the museum for a day soon to take a 200km run back to Kununurra to restock the pantry so we may check out that Keep River Nat Park Road then.
Cheers

Hint..... I'd suggest when uploading pictures for this thread that the file name be checked to ensure it doesn't allude to its location and changed if it does.

I knew you'd found the location that way! I usually remember to wipe out the title when I put a pic in my special folder for posting, but found that one in a hurry and forgot. Realized just after I'd posted it and didn't think I could go back and change it then. Just hoped no-one was smart enough to look

Sometimes the filename is displayed briefly if the picture is slow to load. I feel sure that anyone on this forum would have done as I did and not entered an answer. I my case I would have got it wrong had I not seen it.

My turn, it is inside a well known historical site
From the tall building in the background, and the type of building stone, I would guess somewhere in Sydney, but no hope of being more precise than that.

Thanks Brian, Dubbo is worth a few days visit, plenty to see.
Any train buffs out there? this old train station is now a railway museum, but where is it.
