I'm looking at an Abel, or at least part of one. From somewhere that is very much not mountainous.

You're probably on a plain. Maybe this winter I can learn some Tasmanian geology. I only remember bits and pieces.

Probably not west coast. Or east coast.

Definitely not at all coastal. But not a plain either. I think this is a view you would get doing the book route to the Abel in question. I think ... because it's not the way I did it.

It's dolerite, so that eliminates a few. Are you looking at Parson and Clark?

The Abel is named after a walker.

230 views. Hmm. I've started googling Abels. Apparently Hyperion = 'he who walks on high'. I'll try that.

For once, I wasn't being cryptic. It is, literally, named after a bushwalker, skier and decent bloke (except for the little matter of his employment). But that's just the peak in view. The place I am ... not sure where the name comes from. It certainly isn't a good old Anglo name. Although the thing of which it is part - that's Anglo alright.

I was hoping for Guelph Basin, but Lake KW will do. Take it away.

Given how low the lake gets summer/early autumn, wet is not necessary.

Sorry for the delay. Yes I am on the saddle between Wylly plateau and Mt Victoria Cross, so I think pazzar is closest. Over to you

Apologies - was busy travelling for the day!

Any hints for this one? I can't quite place it.
