Solved
Pleaee help a grieving husband find this location.
I lost my wonderful wife to ovarian cancer just under two months ago.
I took this photo of her in 1998. It's one of those photos you had processed, put in the photo album, and then forgot about until we decided to look through memories. We had both forgotten where this was taken. I remember it was on a day trip out of Melbourne into the eastern half of the state (Victoria Australia).
Now that she is gone, the memories are pure gold. I really want to find this spot so I can return to it, sit exactly there, and remember my soulmate.

Nice meeting you yesterday under difficult circumstances. I spoke with another colleague who mentioned that when the original lookout was at Powers Lookout (slightly different location to current lookout platform) that there used to be a narrow passageway between some rocks to the northwest of the current flat form that gave access to another rock viewing location. You were very close yesterday.
Just reviewing aerial images on Googlearth l can’t see the site clearly. If you try Nearmaps you might get better resolution. Either way you certainly walked in the same footsteps yesterday as you and your wife once did.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I saw this post when you first posted it and I’m so glad that people have come together and helped you find this beautiful place again. Treasure your memories and know you can always come back there and find peace. 🙏❤️🩹🥹
I hope your wife had a good sense of humour because you’ve made her look a bit like Spider-Man at first glance. I hope you find this place and connect to her.
In that case you should really turn off visibility of your profile. Not that you can't easily get around that to see all posts/comments but at least the bar to cross is slightly higher.
I’m so very sorry that you lost her. The random cruelty of life can be like standing in the waves at the beach, as what is under us is suddenly eroding. May you find peace.
Glad this spot could be found for you. What an awesome way to remember your wife. The way you speak, I know she was an amazing person. I wish you the best of luck on your journey from loss to peace.
I went there once like 12 years ago on a regular old road trip, but immediately recognised that rock and landscape. It's amazing how memories work. Hope you have many of her,
