It is indeed Rim Lake and Lake St Clair.

Where is this tent?
By the way, this photo comes with some historical trivia.

It's a long way from the Picton valley. The trivia relate to the ascent of a peak and a prominent, human-created Tasmanian landmark.

So the large rock cairn on Rufus - as seen from the ridge nearing Little Sugarloaf?

Yes, Hugel and Rufus (on the right) from the northern slope of Little Sugarloaf.

The photo was taken on the walk out from making the first known ascent of what subsequently became known as Tramontane. If you Google the opening date of MONA, you will find that it was January 21st, 2011, which was the day on which this photo was taken. Meaning that the last Able received its first known ascent in the same week as the opening of Tasmania's most popular art gallery.'
