I can see Pedder in the background.
I can see the Sentinel Range Behind that.
So you are somewhere on the North Western end of the Western Arthur Range
Maybe the top of Moraine A?
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

There's just a hint of late fagus on the far slope.
I didn't notice any fagus around Lexie :wink:

You got some lovely shots of the Twisted Lakes there - as you coming down from Hanson's Peak.
The 2nd is close to the shore where we had lunch a few years back.

Correct eggs, I didn't think it would take that long to guess.
Thanks, it was a magical day up at Cradle I summited Little Horn and Weindorfers Tower. The mirrors on the water lasted the whole day too.
I might have to post a trip report??

I will give this to ILUVSWTAS - for his first guess. :roll:
This was ascending Maxwells Ridge on the return journey

Weather? hmm - hail on the way in, clagged out on Pinders, quite good on Maxwells/La Perouse and complete white out returning on Moonlight Ridge.
But a very enjoyable trip anyway.. you can see more in the new trip reports section once it has transferred from the Gallery.

It is a composite panorama of several pictures and you can see an issue in one of the joins - but overall I was pretty happy with it.
Peaks visible - Ironbounds - Precipitous Bluff - Wylly - Victoria Cross & Federation

That looks like Mt Wellington from somewhere South

Definately not Wello. Not bulky enough and this peak is way further north. I'll add to this post by giving another clue, a couple of people recently got lost here.....

Ok. I'm fairly certain that's Mt Arthur view from the east and we're looking for Peak Bagger List summits.

Can I have 4 guesses?

1. Mt Maurice
2. Mt Victoria
3. Mt Scott
4. Mt Albert

P.S. Mt Paris is the nearest peak to Branxholm. In the ABC report about the missing couple from WA, Branxholm was the only place mentioned. Mt Paris is moderately famous a nearby historic dam which has recently been listed on the heritage register. I thought the WAlians may have been heritage buffs.

Oh yeh I remember hearing about that one. These guys called for help on their mobile phone, that was all I heard. They were found around 8pm. It was from Mt Scott, Or near the summit anyway. It is Mt Arthur and you did the hard work so over to you TT.

Nice try Pazzar but not quite. I can picture the cliffs along the front of Turranna Bluff being similar. Eggs has it though. The main bluff in the middle distance is Liffey Bluff and peeking over the top is Drys Bluff. The key clue is the bitumen Highland Lakes Road just visible behind the foreground shrubbery.
