My Rufus, about the Gingerbread Hut area, possibly slightly below.

Yes. Climbing from the hut to the top. Generally an easy pad, but you do seem to go through some patches of scoparia.

Apologies, went to the Tarkine coast and forgot my post it is in the saddle between Pegasus and Orion

Not enough sand to be Milford Creek, too small a watercourse to be Spring River ... where else have they planted one of these grossly overengineered beasties ... ?

Looks a lot narrower than when I was last there. Maybe just had less rain beforehand?

Better weather here than my previous visit also.

I've seen that sort of formation in a few spots about the place but I'm unsure they are yours there.

I'll start with Mt Gould.

Neat formation.
It would have been nice to have known about this spot when we were there - but we approached the saddle by skirting Ossa's flanks, and went directly from the pools above towards Paddys Nut. Later we exited from the pools - which proved "interesting" in some sections.
I presume this was basically following a benching line from Paddys Saddle towards the exit pad to the OT?

Yes eggs, somewhere between the saddle and the pad. Just wandering around the edge in the evening and found this right-angle split. Quite deep, and the deepest point is the corner. Would be interesting to get in but it's kind of hard to get at.
It's also intriguing to see how far up the sandstone band persists on that side of Ossa.

Haven't been there in 25 years or so, but didn't that used to just be a 2 or 3 wire crossing?

If I'm right about that being Pelion West on the left, with Thetis behind the gap between Achilles and Perrins, you'd pretty well have to be somewhere on Murchison.

'Tis always a surprise when I actually work one out like that and it's correct.

This one is easy -- from my first walk this year:

Do they actually let people drive over that?

Where else but the Pillans Track across Augusta would you see anything like that? Over to you Graham.

King island has been very fashionable in 2021!

Well that's Picton and his companions.. from the ... Anne area? Lonely tarns perhaps?

Almost? Yes eggs, camped 2/3rds of the way up moraine A. Room for one next to a rock, admiring the sunrise
