...like a scene from the wild west!

A great pic - one of the few of the summit area that's more or less correct date-wise!
Darkroom Daze said:
This is a supreme bit of archive, and this shot is absolutely not like any other of the milliions of photos that have ever been taken from and of the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). This scene is also astonishing in giving no idea that it was taken on the summit of one of Britain's best known higher peaks, and it looks like a nice day up there too (not many of those per year!). Perhaps the scene pre-dates the Snowdon Railway (1896) or were these men helping to build it when the photo was taken?

Bedford said it was 1880. The porch on the right (as well as the height of the cairn) clearly show its a pre-SMR shot. Practically all the Victorian shots of Snowdon summit were taken on nice days!
Darkroom Daze said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/57398036@N02] OK fine about 1880, but would love to know how the height of the cairn and porch on the right indicate that the SMR didn't exist when the photo was taken. I must be missing something obvious.

Summit of Mt Glorious looking towards Mt O'Reilly, Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
O'Reilly is a rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. O'Reilly is located on Queensland's border with New South Wales on the elevated Lamington Plateau. The plateau remains heavily vegetated by Gondwana Rainforests.[3] Almost the whole of the locality is within the Lamington National Park, except for the Boonyong pastoral property (28.2183°S 153.1165°E) and the O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat mountain resort (28.2305°S 153.1304°E).[3] The Lamington National Park contains a network of walking tracks, lookouts and numerous waterfalls.

Panoramic view looking towards Mt. Larcom, Gladstone, 1937-1938

from State Library of Queensland

Vesna Verencevic said:
The prominent and distinctive peak of Mount Larcom is visible to the north-west from most points in Gladstone, with its summit 632 metres above sea level. Matthew Flinders noted it when he explored Port Curtis, naming it after Captain Larcom under whom he had served. Because of its profile, it is often call "The Lion Mountain", resembling a lion and lioness facing each other. The prominent landmark provides a good ascent of two hours or so. The reward is a 360-degree view of the Gladstone area, rural lands and the harbour. On a clear day, you will see reef islands to the east and Rockhampton northwards. Mt Larcom is of volcanic origin, and your walk takes you through light eucalypt forest and grass trees. Source: www.queensland.com/au/en/things-to-do/attractions/p-56b26...
