Well, you are 47 kilometres away from the target. Once you are confident with your answer, you should lock it in.

That is correct, you are it!
In SA it is iconic in that it is one of the best Australian salmon fishing beaches in the State. In years gone by (read, when I fished there) there were no steps down to the beach, you had to scramble down and up the drop to the beach. You didn't want to catch too many fish because it was bloody hard work taking them to the top. In recent years the road has been sealed and a set of steps built - 283 to be precise. Ahh, the kids of today - they don't know how easy they have it.

As I said, it was easy with the clues, but I would not have guessed correctly without 'em. 

Anyways, where's this (hope I have not used it before)?



Don't take any notice of the name on the veranda, it's been photo shopped, but not too much.

You're a better man than me.   On a Tassie visit back in 2010, I walked the steps from the Gordon Dam viewing platform to the top of the damn dam wall, I counted (what I now know to be "only") 208 steps, but I did run out of puff and lost count.  Helen (who stayed on the viewing platform) suggested I go back for a re-count.  Yeah, my name's Billy, not Silly,

Nothing like a favourite beanie, I have quite a few just in case I loose one.

Speaking of steps, there are 500 at Prospect Hill on Kangaroo Island and that nearly killed me too.

What's with the dark hair?

That was back in 1977.   It's not just my hair that has changed since then, including a reluctance to tackle the 283 steps that I last did a couple of years, and had no fish to show for it.

It may require Jonathan Creek to solve it.

It may require Jonathan Creek to solve it.

BG's posts indicate that he knows it, he was first so it looks like it's his turn, but he and everyone is talking around the answer but not actually saying it.  If he or anyone else was to proceed with the next pic it wouldn't be fair on any interested onlookers - if there are any.

Thanks to all those clues I am going to have a stab at it.  Is it Riddells Creek, Victoria?

Is it in the SA Mid-North? The mid-North being bounded by Whyalla to the west, just north of Port Augusta to the north, Oodla Wirra to the east and Owen to the south - roughly.
