The Weld it is. Once you get upstream past the forestry coupes, there's actually some really nice scenery and vegetation.

That's Ms Granger down there, so I assume you're climbing to the Hugel plateau.

ETA: With a closer look, starting the descent from the Hugel plateau.

Scenery first and foremost. The people are just an unwanted distraction.

Well, it was nice to see a distinctive feature - is that Barn?

If so, I thinking it might be an unnamed lake in the vicinity of Agnew. But that's probably not nearly obscure enough! :wink:

Yes, that is Barn Bluff.
No, it is not in the vicinity of anything named Agnew. Nor is the lake unnamed, though it may be a little obscure.

No, that isn't meant to be a cryptic clue. It's not a well-known spot, that's all I meant. Ii should have been there three months ago ...

(ps: Is there a "Hidden Lake"? Can't find ione on ListMap.)

Thank you and yes, that's Barn Bluff just poking its head up behind the ridge west of Rosa.

Do we have Mt Rugby in the middle right? With the water body being Bathurst Harbour.

You might be on the EAs, somewhere like the Boiler Plates?

I've seen those road guide posts on the Gingerbread Track, but the photo doesn't look like it's been taken on that track.

There are some sections that go through that sort of vegetation.

Nope, not on a road

Not Gingerbread or Hartz Either.

There aren't a lot of these markers on this walk, just a few as the alpine area is reached and the track peters out.
