I spent three quarters of an hour down there recently soaking wet and not exactly lost but certainly not knowing how to get out. Growling Swallet.

Great place Rachel. I have been there a few times now, As you can see in the photo it was snowing last time.

I didn't notice that Gerry. I would like to go back in with some company next time and explore a lot further - I wouldn't get confused on the way out next time I'm sure. It is an awesome cave, and enjoyable scrambling, and in theory at least it shouldn't have been possible to get lost!

I don't know if my photo is a bit hard, the game players here seem to work things out so quickly I thought I'd try a harder one.

I want to go back to rowling Swallet myself rachel. I have acquired an HD video camera and want to take it in. Waiting for the weather to cool off for the moss and fungi to flourish.

Hmm, don't think I saw much moss and fungus In the cave! Are you intending to go down the cave or just around the entrance?

by **Taurë-rana** » Thu 25 Feb, 2010 8:28 pm

Any guesses or should I add another photo with more obvious features?

by **GerryDuke** » Thu 25 Feb, 2010 9:12 pm

No intention to go into the cave Rachel. Just the track to GS and beyond!

You have slowed us down with this one.

The shadows and mist indicate it is a morning shot and you are looking towards the west.
I first thought Lake St Clair - but checking my photos there is no match on the shorelines, so I guess you are probably up on the Central Plateau.
Possibly a larger lake near a 4 wheel drive track. Possibly Lake Ada?

by **Taurë-rana** » Thu 25 Feb, 2010 11:19 pm

You're on the right track. Probably looking more NW than west, and it is a larger lake near a 4 wheel drive track, but not Ada. I have got a photo of it with mountains in the background if you want it.

Is it Lake Fanny?

by **eggs** » Fri 26 Feb, 2010 11:50 am

Hmm - I have never been on the Ada approaches or 4 wheel driving, but I was recently on Mt Jerusalem.
I could not see Fanny from there - it sits below a substantial ridgeline.

The implication is that if the distinguishing mountains Rachel is hinting at are the WOJ, and given no clear high ground on the edge of this lake, it has to be further out in much flatter country.
Could it be Lake Pillans?

by **Taurë-rana** » Fri 26 Feb, 2010 2:09 pm

Lake Pillans has a lot more open country around it than that. You are too far north. It's not Lake Fanny either. Eggs, your first thought was closer.

by **eggs** » Fri 26 Feb, 2010 4:05 pm

Casting around a bit here.... Lake Ina?

by **Taurë-rana** » Fri 26 Feb, 2010 5:08 pm

Yes, good guess.

by **eggs** » Fri 26 Feb, 2010 6:43 pm

OK - keeping it going.

by **whynotwalk** » Sat 27 Feb, 2010 9:17 am

Is it Moores Bridge in the Southern Ranges?

cheers

Peter

by **eggs** » Sat 27 Feb, 2010 9:26 am

Yes - I am looking at Moores Bridge - from the route around Hill 2.
You can make out a hiker on the left ridge with LaPerouse further left, and the edge of PB in the distance in the gap between Wylly and Victoria Cross.

Thanks Brian - lucky guess! Although it is a distinctive - and wonderful - landform.

Okay, let's go coastal. I don't think I've used this before, but forgive me if my ol' memory has faded :oops:

cheers

this on the track to crescent bay near remarkable cave. great spot esp. exploring around the blowhole area

by **Nick S** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 3:57 pm

ok heres one then

by **whynotwalk** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 5:05 pm

Sorry to be slow Nick - you were right, of course. It's on the track before the Maingon Blowhole on the Crescent Bay track. Glad you kept the game going in my absence,

cheers

Peter

Lovely picture Nick.
You almost got the lighting just right to wash out those funny rotating things on the left.

by **Nick S** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 5:31 pm

No worries Peter, yeah I was pretty confident it was the right spot having been there only a month ago

.

haha brian, it's all about the small detail this one..

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 6:51 pm

So it's Marrawah area??

by **eggs** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 7:51 pm

Initially I thought you were looking at Mt Cameron West from Green Point, but I wouldn't get that glancing view with the whirly things from there.
[as they are a fair way away - good old zoom compressing everything together]
So you are on the actual Green Point Beach, but how far along?
Never having been there, I can only go by the List and note there is a road to the far south end of the beach from Marrawah.
And I think it will be from that southern end looking north.

by **Nick S** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 9:05 pm

You're right it's from the end of that road on the south end of the beach, I.e. Where the BBQ area is and where surfers go.
Mark - yes it's the main Marrawah beach, unless you want to drive the dirt road to West point, which is worth doing.

by **eggs** » Sun 28 Feb, 2010 9:13 pm

Off you go then Mark - you can put up your photo from Mensa Moor now.. :wink:

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Mon 01 Mar, 2010 8:48 am

Haha no no I thought you got that one closer Brian, but ok I will find one... Maybe not Mensa JUST yet though....

by **eggs** » Mon 01 Mar, 2010 4:13 pm

I think I would have preferred Mensa... - gosh that cloud looks familiar :lol:

This is "better' than your white-out job - the basic picture is highly pixilated so I cannot drill in for detail.

So extremely wild guess - Glovers Bluff looking up the Weld River past Snowy South..... :roll:
