GAME: Where am I?

[Last]

Stepped hills?

[north-north-west]

Long way away.

[eggs]

How long did you take to ensure the edge of one block obscured the face of Geikie at the back?

[north-north-west]

It was a happy coincidence. Really. Honestly. Would I lie to you?

[eggs]

You were certainly exploring there.
Geikie at back places you on the plateau above Lake Tyndall.
I would like to have spent longer wandering around there.

Looking northish from Mt Cuvier

Cuvier?

[eggs]

Yes - ascending Cuvier

[ILUVSWTAS]

Anyone else go next

[RicktheHuman]

I've got one

[ILUVSWTAS]

I initially thought Mesa, but there's no scrub. Maybe back the other way to the calf?

[RicktheHuman]

Not Mesa or The Calf. Could see it though! It was very open walking along this North - South aligned ridge.

[eggs]

Wylds Craig?

[RicktheHuman]

Not Wylds, too far north

[johnw]

It reminds me of Mt Snowy, although the profile doesn't quite fit the angle I've approached it.
Nothing visible behind but you are fair way below the peak. Maybe you're on the southern side of it?

[RicktheHuman]

Not Snowy, wrong range but not far off at all old chap

If I go WNW a little suggests you are alluding to Mt Chapman?

[RicktheHuman]

Chapman it is

[johnw]

Thanks, I'll try this one:

Lake Hanson from near the junction of the Rodway/Hansons/Twisted Lakes tracks, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair NP

You get this view while heading towards a peak that isn't an Abel.

[Tortoise]

Is it in the Mt Field area?

[johnw]

Is it in the Mt Field area?

It looks a little like Tarn Shelf Tortoise but no, this is a long way from Mt Field. Good Fagus at both spots though.

[eggs]

Can I recommend spending a bit longer exploring the nooks and crannys around Cradle Mt - it really is a very special place.

[bushwalker zane]

Eggs obviously knows where it is! Lake Hanson, I remember the first time I saw this as a kid, and always thought it really interesting how the lake is held back by a natural 'Dam Wall'.

Correct Zane, from somewhere near the junction of the Rodway/Hansons/Twisted Lakes tracks.

[bushwalker zane]

Beautiful!

Next one:

[Tortoise]

Cuvier Valley, I believe. Looks like the skeleton has lost a bit since we were there last:

[bushwalker zane]

Indeed! Over to you

[Tortoise]

Thanks! After missing Chapman (I knew it looked familiar) and Lake Hanson (in my own backyard that I've spent oodles of time exploring ), I needed one like that. Next:

[Last]

is that PW from the back?

[Tortoise]

Indeed it is, Last. A friend wanted to explore that side, and come up to the PW/Achilles ridge from the west. I reckon there are much more worthwhile places to explore!
