GAME: Where am I?

[Last]

I thought from High Dome?

I thought from High Dome?

That makes more sense. But I'm doing well to recognise Pyramid straight away so it's still a win.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Yes last
PW was way too obvious in the other direction.

[Last]

Pity. Next

Is that St Val's in the distance?

[Last]

I think so

I'll upgrade that to "yes"

[north-north-west]

I love just throwing out random observations about some of these images. For instance, the foreground scrub looks like the stuff on top of Maurice.

The scoparia is distinctive of higher places
Shall we start the bidding with Beecroft?

Recondite knob?

[Last]

No, no and no.

Scorparia? What's that....

[Tortoise]

My first thought was Inglis, but try as I might, I can't make the background fit.

[Last]

Not Inglis.

There are clues in the picture

There are clues in the picture

Reckon I need to clean my screen to see them.

[north-north-west]

Kate?

[Last]

Kate is correct. There are buildings, etc, visible.

[north-north-west]

Thanks. It's the only flat top I could line up with buildings and a long ridge in front of St Vals.

Now, something a little bit different for a summit marker.

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

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?

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?

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.
