Not too far from there actually.  Look at the clue re maritime industry.

I'll try Loch Arklet then.

It’s not a loch.

Arklet Dam?

Mareblu - did I read it correctly that the namesake place is closer to Tassie but not in Tassie?

No, not a dam.

Correct, Kristelle.  

[Mareblu]

Okay, time for more hints.  It’s not a loch, not a dam.  The beautiful backdrop is the Highlands.  Think of the first part of the name of a heavy haulage animal.

Lake Mentieth

Not a lake (loch).  Not a dam.  Not a sea either, btw.  What sort of waterway is left, apart from a canal, which it isn’t.  Maritime industry (huge, actually, in its peak years). That should suggest a large population not too far away. Near Loch Lomond.  The first part of the name of a noble beast of work and burden.  Gather all the clues together.

[Mareblu]

Oh, and its namesake is closer to Tasmania than this iconic waterway.  NSW is closer to Tassie, right?

River Clyde

Yesss!  River Clyde approaching Greenock, Glasgow’s port.  Les has enjoyed cruising up the Clyde River from Bateman’s Bay to Nelligen,  and in much earlier years, we enjoyed days of waterskiing and family picnics on this beautiful waterway.  Clydesdales are truly beautiful, intelligent horses.  Only a short distance from Loch Lomond.  The Clyde River shipbuilding industry was once the largest such industry in the world.  Our first RAN vessels were produced here.

Phew!  This was a marathon.  Well done, and your turn.

[lyndarra]

Yep, I reckon Les would have got that.

Is that the "Great Wall of China" near Blinman in the Flinders Ranges?

Thanks for the gift. Although I haven't actually seen that particular group of totems. It was an educated guess.

Let's see what I can find.

Maybe this?

Looks a bit like the chalk cliffs in England
