It’s not too far from a pub that needs a new roof (well it did when I was there in January).

Yes, going through my photo sequence I'd say Australia Hill. I need a camera with GPS stamp.

Current photo. Is the hut named?

Great question John - I’m not sure. I’ll have a look.

Not on the map I have - could be privately owned.
There’s a well established walking track for anglers and a cool old railway between the river and the road.

Mmm, historically a pub, railway, river, hut, anglers and walking in the one spot. WAG, Tyenna River?

Spot on mate.
The roof of the National Park Hotel had a tarp on part of it in January…
Even without a rod in hand, it’s a beautiful river and well worth a stroll.

Driving through there I've always wondered if the river is worth a walk. Noted for when I next manage to come down.

If I was hungry, metaphorically, I could have found some food further along the track.

Hmm - unlikely to be the Gingerbread Hut track, has more of a Wellington feel to it.

Narrowed it down eggs.

Yes, that's what I was hinting at Lucas. I was doing the Wellington Falls circuit anticlockwise, I'm actually about 15 minutes from Disappearing Tarn.

eggs was right, it did look very Wellington Park-ish.

Next one - where was I s@#%#ing myself, wondering what the heck I was doing here?

Climbing Fedders?
(I'm going to say that for every vertiginous ascent someone posts. Eventually it will be right.)

Possible, but the background might suggest somewhere else?

Well, the next worst climb I can think of is that horrid summit block on Bonds Craig, although the background looks more Frenchmans area to me.

WAs. One of the 3 really eroded drops.

Maybe into Lake Oberon?

Not sure that we are looking down a path here.
But I did wonder about the steep gully off the face of Sharlands that apparently some have attempted.

You mean the one that all the guidebooks tell you NOT to climb? Quite possible.

Scrub that, I have a shot from the top of the Frenchman with those background features.
To match he was down a bit from the top on the eastern edge - was this from a cliff face climb?

I wasn't doing a cliff climb, but close enough. I was coming back from Clytemnestra, and decided to return to Tahune via the climbers route under those tall S-SE facing cliffs as some people I know had done it a few months prior. It might be quicker, but it was pretty damn exposed. This picture was taken at the top of the big landslip (which you have to descend).

Over to you.

Very interesting route there.
I have pondered getting to or from Cyclemestra via the base of the north side of Frenchman, but not under the big cliffs.
