GAME: Where am I?

[Phil]

Someone else can post a pic if they like......anyone......let's keep the game rolling!

[whynotwalk]

Okay - I haven't had a go for a while.

You'll pick the mountains (probably), but from which lake?

cheers

Peter

[stu]

Maybe Lake Solitude looking north?
Olympus & Othrys in the background.

[PeterJ]

Maybe one day I will get there - it is on my "list" - especially in autumn.

It is just fabulous on a lovely autumn day, especially when the Fagus is coloured. The photo was taken at that time, but in that one the Fagus doesn't feature much. My photo album from that trip April 2007 is on the web

[eggs]

Thanks Peter

We were close 2 years ago when I did the OT for the first time - beautiful autumn fagus around Cradle and Ossa.
But due to time and my wife's insistence that we do the full walk - we proceeded down lake St Clair rather than the side track to Pine Valley.

Getting rustier stu - these mountains have been featuring a lot lately - being Solomons Throne, King David's Peak & the Temple.
That places him in the land of a thousand lakes....

[whynotwalk]

Yes eggs - it's a bit drier than around Olympus, 'though very very full of lakes indeed.

But which one???

[stu]

Wow, I am getting very rusty...I think I'll go for a walk & leave the game to the experts for a while
(I leave for 8-10 days on the Franklands this Saturday - very excited!).

[whynotwalk]

Have a great trip Stu - take your yabbie tube, it can get pretty dry up there (although tonight/tomorrow's rain might help).

I'm off to the Thetis/Achilles/Pelion area for 6 days, leaving Saturday as well. Let's both hope for good weather!

But back to the "Where Am I?" ... here's a cryptic clue. The lake name might have come from someone who was uncertain more than twice! (That's worth a dad-joke groan once you get it ... but then I'm not only a dad, I'm also a granddad!)

cheers

[eggs]

Hope all your walks go well.
My note re our 2 weeks down there was that things were very, very dry - particularly Schnells and the Southern Ranges.
Maybe you have had some rain since then.
Stu - Sorry the Spires planning did not work out. Franklands sounds good - I would love to do them via kayak + day trips.

Not sure about your clue.

Maybe Lake Olive?

[whynotwalk]

It's stayed very dry since your visit Brian - although rain is forecast soon, and the clouds in Hobart are looking dark.

Re. the photo/lake, it's not Olive ... further north (I wasn't using zoom)

[Phil]

The lake name might have come from someone who was uncertain more than twice!

More than twice........Three Arm Lake?

[whynotwalk]

Well done Phil. Three Arm (Umm) Lake it is!

I posted a couple of blog entries about my recent trip to the land of (many more than) a thousand lakes. Start here http://auntyscuttle.blogspot.com/2010/01/walking-with-ada-pt-1-not-lacking-in.html

Over to you Phil,

cheers

[Phil]

Thanks Peter.

Again I will hand my turn over to whoever would like to post a pic.........I'll be off now and check back in the morning!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Stu - Sorry the Spires planning did not work out. Franklands sounds good - I would love to do them via kayak + day trips.

Yeh bit of a bummer! you'd think someone MAY have mentioned to our boat transport people a simple thing like HOW MANY THERE ARE IN OUR GROUP AND WILL WE FIT IN YOUR BOAT....

Hehehe just joking Ivan Franklands isnt a let down, Spires/POW will just have to wait til next year......

[stepbystep]

Must not let the game die, here's another...complete with UFO!

[eggs]

Thanks for putting that up - I was about to do the same.

Not sure about your ufo, but it seems to have crash landed on Mt Field

See any 3-headed dogs when taking this photo?

[stepbystep]

See any 3-headed dogs when taking this photo?

Don't know what to make of that comment eggs
Saw some pretty ugly forestry operations though

[eggs]

The 3-headed dog was an allusion to the legends surrounding the Styx.

Anyway - I think you might be on Mt Styx looking through the gap between mt Field and Mt Mueller.

[stepbystep]

Ah I need to scrub on my mythology.
Alas it isn't from Mt Styx, the shot is taken from halfway up another peak.

[eggs]

This could be the quietest its been since Christmas/New Year?

So are you ascending Snowy North then?

[stepbystep]

Snowy North it is eggs. A nice walk with a very depressing start and end - leaves a bad feeling having been to such a good vantage point only to walk through a devastated section of beautiful forest on the way out.

I know of at least 3 regulars of the game that are out doing what they love at the moment. Half their luck the weather has been magnificent down here for the last few days. 2 are on The Frankland's and 1(maybe 2) in The Western Arthurs.....
Your turn.

[eggs]

See what interest this one can generate?

[Nick S]

Looks like a zoom from Mt Jerusalem? Could be Lake Ball and Lake Meston in the distance

[eggs]

Quite right Nick

With Olympus, Byron, Gould's Sugerloaf, Cuvier Manfred and Gould lining the horizon.

[Nick S]

Yeah I'm a bit rusty at the moment, but that skyline will always stir a few memories..
new one.

[stepbystep]

Good one Nick, I haven't spent any REAL time in the reserve and I'm sure this is Tasman Penn but once again haven't spent much time down there but should do given it's so close to home
Maybe from Cape Raoul, looking South?

[eggs]

Well you might need to be not quite so sure about Tasman Pen.

I was up on the peaky bit (Pindars) at the back recently - and I remember seeing the lighthouse from there. It was on the SW corner of Bruny Is.

I suspect Nick is giving us a reason to visit Bruny.
Looks like it is from the headlands south of Cloudy Bay - maybe East Cloudy Head?

[Nick S]

That's it brian.
Yeah it's Pindars up in the haze there. It was an awesome day and I was almost regretting not being up in the southern ranges, but it was a great little walk along East Cloudy head, and we did actually drive to the lighthouse later that day.

stepbystep - This is from Bruny but yes you should visit tas penn as well 4 days on Bruny Is just isn't enough if you enjoy diving as well..
And some more reason to visit Bruny, this is looking the other way..

[eggs]

I need to warn this one is a zoom as well...

Bugger, should have known that, didn't put enough thought into it, have spent plenty of time on Bruny and seen it from all angles....Grrrrr.
A great island with a great name,
Dan Broun(y)

P.S. Not sure about this one, nice angle on Fedders, thinking it's from the west. maybe Schnells as I know you've been ther eggs.
If right I'll pass it on, I'm heading to WA late tomorrow and am busy packing(my boardies )
Cheers, Dan
