Oooops, sorry, forgot about this one.
Yes, Seagers with, as it always seems to be when I go there, a lot of low cloud.

There wasn’t a lot to go on but the little bit of road over Wombat Moor gave it to me.
What mountain was I on last Tuesday. (It’s behind me, not in the photo.)

I know the answer but I would feel guilty if I said it.

Hyperion? Looks like one of the pools on the way up to the DuCane Range.

Ummm, no. That's Sarah Jane with Weld behind, isn't it?

Sue, I reckon you do know. Don’t let a bit of guilt get in the way.

NNW it does look a bit like Lake Helios area but this is well south of there.

Sorry NNW I didn’t read your second paragraph about Sarah Jane and Weld. Was it there or did you sneak it in when I wasn’t looking? Yes to both of them so what’s the mountain 200 metres behind me?

Thanks. Though I was trying to avoid this. Suppose it's the price one pays for keeping the game alive.

Name the body of water in view.

I wasn't sure if i should answer, but I realised I had inside info after I thought it was the Denisons. So as you've advised us to look at a map of the area...Lavara Tarn?

Yep. Not a bad little spot if you want to avoid the hordes at Rhona.

Now, what do you have for us next?

Something a bit different. Where was the person in the photo? You wouldn't catch me there.

They're certainly not walking to Maui!

No indeed! Much closer to home. I was surprised at how fast they moved! Back and forth, back and forth. An evening's entertainment for us.

Frustrating. Part of the brain keeps saying "I know that" and the other part says "do I?"

Rock looks west/southwest. Tyndall area?

Not the Tyndalls, quite a way from there. SW is the right area

I suspect that parts that look to merge are perhaps separated by gaps.
On that assumption it could be the edge of Gallagher Plateau looking back to Schnells

More likely, eggs, the reason it looks so familiar could be that it's the *&%$#! pool I camped next to on eastern Schnells plateau when I did Gallagher. If so, thanks for reminding me.

You were very close eggs, but I'm not on Gallagher, still on Schnells as NNW said!

How long did it take to descend Schnells and climb to Gallagher NNW? -

Full day there and back from the eastern plateau, but I stuffed up the nav on the way out and spent more time in the scrub than necessary (story of my life). Need to stick as close as possible to the watershed on that moraine before turning and dropping into the saddle, or possibly follow steeper and slightly more open ground further south. Return was better.
Part of the problem was that the highest point isn't at the co-ordinates on the list, but a good km or more further SE. Still had time to explore a little, but it was a pretty late return. It's only an hour or so from the eastern Schnells summit to the last pool if you go straight and don't mess about. Would be possible to camp out on Gallagher, although finding water at the moment, considering how dry the SW is, might be tricky. It's very reminiscent of Jubilee; similar rock, vegetation and topography.

So, where was I this lovely day?

Interesting! and yep looks pretty scrubby down in there. You never know I may find myself over there one day... Would be cool to exit over Weld. I was content just to wander around the edge behind that pool Yep, it took about 45 each way from my camp near Schnells East. Water wasn't a problem plenty about up there yesterday.
