GAME: Where am I?

Mount Koonya

[north-north-west]

Damn, I was hoping that would last a little longer.

Hadn't seen it or anything similar. It piqued my interest so I googled it to death and ended up at the site for the co. that constructed it.
So it's the BOM weather radar (C-band Doppler radar) for Hobart. Similar ones in QLD at Weipa and Mt Isa, and on South Goulburn Island NT.
And the Terrey Hills one up here I use online that looks like a teed up golf ball. Dunno why it never occurs to me to visit some of these things.

And on we go:

Tarn near Shadow and Forgotten Lakes, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair NP via Derwent Bridge

[ILUVSWTAS]

So it's the BOM weather radar

And on we go:

Did you check if it was switched on? I'm not sure it works properly.

Hmmm your vague trend continues John.... reminds me a bit of Webster though?

[doogs]

Platypus Bae?

No it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Ours is working though . Not that it matters, I'm not going anywhere atm.
Testing your knowledge of obscurity Mark . Not Webster, I'm a fair distance from Mt Field area.
This tarn is unnamed, but very close to one or more things that that are.
Small clue in the background if you can find a wider shot.

Platypus Bae?

No, but you're not too far away.

[north-north-west]

Is that the little tarn between Shadow and Forgotten? Kind of looks like Little Hugel in the top right corner.

On one of my photos I have it labelled "Tarn near Shadow Lake".
I vaguely thought it was the one shortly before Shadow rather than betwixt them, but we did visit both lakes and Little Hugel.
So I reckon you'll be correct NNW, and if not that's near enough anyway. All yours.

[ILUVSWTAS]

You are right John. 10mins before shadow lake.

[north-north-west]

Figures. After posting wasn't sure which side of Shadow it was, just know it's the one I've only ever seen frozen.

And while we're talking about things being frozen, where is this?

[eggs]

Reminds of the track near Crater Peak

[north-north-west]

*tosses coin ... 'is that close enough or not?' *

You lucked out, it came up close enough. The gully crossing between Crater and the track junction.

[eggs]

Nice coin.
And nothing wrong with your memory. I have a shot pretty much at the same spot.

I don't often get into the snow in Tas.

Pool of slush adjacent the road at Mt Field near Lake Dobson

[ILUVSWTAS]

The walls?

[eggs]

No - not much walking to get here

[north-north-west]

There's something that looks like a hut behind the nearer line of scrub. Or is it a boulder?

Sort of looks Mt Fieldish but could just as easily be Ronny Creek on a bad day.

[eggs]

Won't make it too hard.
This is adjacent the road at Mt Field near Lake Dobson.
I had not seen a snow slush like this before.
PS - if you click to enlarge there was a distant hut in view.

[north-north-west]

That is extremely generous. Would have taken a while to get there.

Let's see how this one goes.

[RicktheHuman]

hmmm, that angle would have to put you in up high in Hartz somewhere. Hartz Peak maybe?

[north-north-west]

I could see Hartz but I wasn't on it.

[doogs]

Bobz?

[north-north-west]

Hartz was closer.

[RicktheHuman]

I'll skip the obvious progression - Devils Backbone?

[north-north-west]

You're going the wrong way.

[wander]

Picton?

[wander]

Might switch to Adamsons Peak.

[north-north-west]

Picton?

That is also a wrong way.

Might switch to Adamsons Peak.

And that is too far the right way. Like Hartz, I could see Adamsons from here.

[eggs]

That suggests Esperance

[north-north-west]

It does, but it's really sneaky letting everyone else do all the hard work and then nipping in with the right answer.

[eggs]

In that case - anyone can go next
