The guy in the middle (with the big nose) looks like John Elliott of Carlton (Brewery) fame.

Oh well noone got it, well noone guessed at all really.

Anyway it is:

"a truck tire, 36 inches, quite worn, laying on several other tires, shot close up, from a little below, and with a two color polorizing filter on my minolta x-370"

Someone had posted it to another forum in a thread relating to closeups of various objects with people trying to guess what they were, this just looked way to crag like to me so had to repost it here..

well thats a relief - it looked like you would have got gripped climbing any of the lines in the photo anyway.. and they probably had inflated grades.

If this works, guess away, there's a chalked up route to the right, a climber middle and a climber left.

Start with area, crag and the routes right to left!

I would guess Bungonia Gorge, but that's as much as I would be able to narrow it down. Potentially Lee Cosseys route that was photographed in Rock years ago in the middle?

Yep definately limestone so bungonia is a good choice me thinks

Sorry guys, "really famous" so it's outside Vic!

*planting Vic flag firmly in the ground above Siblings Of The Sun* I now claim this land for all Victorians!!

Great score for Victoria. Since we are keen on building freeways everywhere. Access will soon be simple in Bungonia, as Bracks will forge a tollway through the middle of the gorge offering 5 second access - tolls will obviously apply...

I still say Bungonia, though brat is from Queensland. So the crag may be a volcanic plug in the Sunshine state?

Hmm I'm guessing:
Ton Sai
Fire Wall
Boob Tube and Groove Tube
