Bushwalk Australia

You do learn something about distances in this game when you start opening up maps... Thelist 1:25000 and google maps both going flat out here.
The rough location was easy enough because of the amount of fagus on the hillsides. The biggest clue was revealed by eggs, surely referring to Lake Fenton. Certainly the shape of the southern side matches.
Lining up the angle of the shore and taking into account the wide angle obviously used to fit that much bush into the photo in the foreground, you must be at Seagers Lookout.

Yep - Seagers LO it is. Well deduced Adam

I was helped a lot by eggs on that one, I hadn't scanned far enough away from Lake Dobson to seriously consider that lake (dam) as a candidate until I got his clue.

OK let's see what I can find.

: Mt Hyperion photographed from Acropolis.

Where is everyone? This one should be a bit easier than my last one.

Shooting from the hip - I am thinking Hyperion from the walk up the Ducaine range from the Labrynth?

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 7:02 pm

Close. Right mountain that I am looking at, right view (sort of), but my location is somewhat out. More zoom than that. I'm on a mountain, not far from its summit. Isn't it a great view from up there tho, where you say. I was going thru photos looking for potential images for the game and all the photos from that area are so obvious.

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 7:37 pm

The only low peak nearby I can think of is Eros?
But the angle looks totally wrong - and perhaps you are higher than you seem. Is this from Massif?

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 7:42 pm

No and no and perhaps a bit more zoom.

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:08 pm

Looks like its just you and me.
A bit of shame I have got so many wrong.
The foreground says not Geryon, and the angle says not Walled Mtn, but it could be the Acropolis?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:16 pm

You know after the recent talk of Hyperion, I actually thought this was the famous peak!! Could it be from Falling Mtn??

A few people I know have said this is one of the most difficult peaks to climb

Sheesh, took your time :roll:

Indeed it is!
Here is a different photo, but the same view.
Your go eggs.

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:29 pm

Well that was tricky.
Next time I won't shoot from the hip :lol:

This one is for Taure-rana... [now I know why some call her elf-lady for ease.]

The view is of the White Monolith Range. [PS - not Moniloths ILUVSWTAS :roll:

]

: zoom shot of the White Monolith Range (not moniloth!) with Mt Machonocie on the right from the summit of Hesperus in the Western Arthurs

Haha yeh easier to spell isnt it.... Hey leave my spelling alone.... we've established by now im a bad speller... cant we just leave it at that and let some of my mistakes ride....

Well has anyone been up Hyperion?? Is it truly difficult????

Eggs you HAVE to be on the Frankland range somewhere... Maybe thats remote peak on the right??

I'll start with the Cupola??

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:33 pm

Not the Franklands

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:35 pm

Hmmm Ok the Arthurs then... Hersperus??

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:39 pm

Yes - a zoom shot of the White Monolith Range (not moniloth!) with Mt Machonocie on the right from the summit of Hesperus in the Western Arthurs

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:42 pm

Lith Loth... whats the difference.....

by **eggs** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 8:49 pm

Its that search tool thingy.
When Taure-rana said she had no idea where moniloths where in Tasmania - I thought she might need a picture.
But when I searched for the post - I couldn't find it. It was then that the penny dropped that she may have been having a go at the spelling.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:06 pm

Everyone else has a go at my spelling, she may as well join in...

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:09 pm

Lakes that look like that... Dead trees... How about Rogoona? Looks more like the ridge to the north than the actual summit.

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:11 pm

Then again, I suppose you're going to tell us it's in the southwest again...

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:16 pm

Not Rigoonu (yes now im misspelling on purpose)
And no clues!! I do however OCCASIONALLY post pics that arent in the southwest.....

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:26 pm

There are also a lot of lakes from the Walls area, could it be somewhere like Jerusalem? Warmer?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 9:33 pm

Maybe slightly but maybe not, probably equal distance away from this place.

by **tasadam** » Tue 15 Dec, 2009 10:59 pm

Wentworth Hills?
(Cheating a bit)

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 16 Dec, 2009 7:08 am

Again with the cheating?? hehehe im just going to have to stop putting pictures of my walks up if this continues Adam!!

Yup, Looking east from the summit of the lovely Wentworth Hills!!

by **tasadam** » Wed 16 Dec, 2009 7:48 am

Working on a theme here...

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 16 Dec, 2009 7:59 am

Your liking this place at the moment arent you Adam....

Ok as I havent been there it's all just guesswork. From Geyron campsite?

by **tasadam** » Wed 16 Dec, 2009 8:25 am

No. Hey, look at that. I cannot just say "No."
I get an error that says

Your message contains 3 characters. The minimum number of characters you need to enter is 5.

Well, that gets me my 5 characters.
So, again, No.
Compare with last image of mine, see if that helps. Swing round a bit.

I'd say in the Labyrinth somewhere, probably somewhere around Lake Elysia?
