GAME: Where am I?

[Graham51]

Looks a bit snaky!

[eggs]

OK - either of you 2 can duel for the prize - view from Serpentine Dam

[Last]

Ok, I'll post.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Have you just come down the scrubby bit off Achilles?

[Last]

Quite some distance from there

[Graham51]

The left side looks like The Thumbs but I'm not so sure about the rest of that ridge. If it's The Thumbs, from somewhere near Stepped Hills?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Still looks like PW to me!

[Last]

PW is correct, but where from?

[north-north-west]

Trying to be logical about this and it's not getting me very far. Pretty sure you're south of PW. Don't see how you could get that much of it in view from SSW to SE, because the other Abels would show up - except possibly shooting through the gap between Doris and Pelion East from up on the Cathedral plateau.

[Last]

Incorrect NNW.

[north-north-west]

Incorrect NNW.

Bull! I am totally correct in saying it wasn't getting me very far, though I concede that the rest may be entirely inaccurate.

[norts]

PW from Dome Hill?

[Last]

Not from there norts

[ILUVSWTAS]

Dome hill didn't have scrub when I was there, perhaps enroute to nereus if you ventured further west than my route?

[Last]

Never been there ILUV.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Bah. Ok I'll try high dome then I'm done..

[eggs]

On the track to Oakleigh?

[Last]

Not High dome. Not the track to Oakleigh either but the closest so far

[eggs]

I had originally though it could be the old Forth River track, but the rise on the RHS seemed out of place - but perhaps on that track fairly close to the Old Pelion Hut?

[Last]

There's more zoom than that

[eggs]

I thought someone would arm wrestle this off me by now?

[north-north-west]

Near Tarn of Islands? There is a view of PW from the low ridge on the southern side iirc.

[Last]

other side of the arm

[north-north-west]

That puts you somewhere in the Walls? ... but with that angle on PW ... Rogoona?

[eggs]

The ridgeline view of PW is similar to the view from the Arm River track crossing of the Douglas Creek near New Pelion Hut.
It is tricky because everyone knows the long ridge runs east west, but this angle shrinks it to almost nothing and makes the back north running ridge look enormous.
So the photo is to the north from that track point.
The question is whether it was from the Arm River Track itself, which may be possible [but I cannot place my hands on a shot from the point where that track passes from a button grass section into the forest]
or whether it was from the alternative side track which heads towards the Pillinger turnoff?
I have not been on that side track and I have a sneeking suspicion that I might have seen PW briefly from that spot on the Arm River Track - so I will go with that as my guess.

[Last]

We need to move on, eggs is close enough. I had come up the Arm River track and branched onto the old loop that leads to Pillinger. As I neared the saddle at the bottom of the Pillinger ascent this unexpected view of PW appeared.

[eggs]

So I was dreaming.
Lets try another zoom shot - better get your maps out...

Spurling and Ida from Milligans Peak

[RicktheHuman]

KW1?

[eggs]

Very close....

[RicktheHuman]

Milligan close?
