GAME: Where am I?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Are you looking out at the Watcher from the shelf circuit??

[stepbystep]

Incorrect

[eggs]

Are you looking back from near Mt Field West?

[stepbystep]

Not on Field West, I have made a cunning crop on this one or it would be too easy....

[pazzar]

Approaching Florentine Peak, Field West would be further along the ridge at the back

Nope.
I saw you had car troubles today J, that's too bad, Sentinels will have to wait...

[pazzar]

yeah, alternator needs fixing, not worth risking the battery life by heading out there.

[stepbystep]

ok a slightly expanded view...

So we can now see Florentine Peak?
Would that place on/near Mt Mawson looking back at the Rodway Range?

Somewhere near Lake Bill?
Yeah, I'll stick with that. Approaching Lake Bill. Looks like you've passed most of the buttongrass and Bill is only a few hundred metres, if that. Rogoona in the background.

[tasadam]

Of course, there is the possibility that you have not yet passed all the buttongrass, and rather than ploughing through it with the roughly staked trail, you are taking the less known track to the east, just up the hill a fraction, missing the bog in the middle of the buttongrass plain.
I'd need to do some photo checking to be sure which.

[eggs]

You have it tasadam - nearing Lake Bill after passing through Blizzard Plain.
[It does flank a length of forest after the plains but before the lake. Photos indicate it was about 20 min to the lake after that shot.]

[tasadam]

Next...

[tasadam]

Too hard, or quiet day?

[stepbystep]

Too hard, or quiet day?

Bit of both I think Adam, I assume it's up North there somewhere, my first thought was around Mole Creek/Alum Cliffs type area, but I wouldn't know....

[tasadam]

Well you've got the right half of the state.
There is a popular viewpoint almost in this photo, but it cannot be seen from here. I am about at the start of a walking track that is signposted. I am on a road.

[tasadam]

The walking track that commences about an underarm tennisball away from where I am, goes down to a well constructed, solid, steel walking bridge...
The more popular destination here is somewhere on the hills on the right side of my photo. Again, can't be seen from here.
More clues?

[isoma]

You're struggling to get much action here tasadam, so here are a few random thoughts from a Queenslander.
Until I read that last post I was thinking it looked a little bit like Leven Canyon area from the south - perhaps looking at Griffith ridge area with lookout out of view to the right of picture. Its been a while since I was around there - I dont recall any steel bridges.

[GerryDuke]

A fine and sunny 17 degrees in Hobart today - everyone is out!! Classic view of Leven Canyon Isoma. A great walk to the canyon floor across the steel bridge. No doubt it would be going off now after all the rain.

Gerry

[tasadam]

The Queenslander has it! Anything mentioning Leven Canyon is close enough.

This PDF file mentions the Leven Canyon Floor walk, the bottom of page 1 has a photo of the steel bridge.
This brochure has a description of the walk as well.
And here is a map, with the mouse pointer positioned about where the photo was taken from.

[isoma]

Sorry guys,
Dont have access to any Tassie photos tonight.
Someone else please post a new one.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Ok I'll go....

[tasadam]

Getting pretty close to PB?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Nope, not PB Adam.

[eggs]

Thwaites Plateau?
Edit - I can see Thwaites is a bit lower - so maybe from around Hanging Lake looking back to the rock ridge above Thwaites
2nd edit - forget all that - no idea. The foreground is so pixellated I think it is much further across than I first thought.

[tasadam]

If eggs has no idea we're all stuffed... Maybe a hint, what's the round bump (mountain) in the distance on the right?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Eggs is close

[isoma]

Is it goon moor from stuart saddle/ the dial ?
