GAME: Where am I?

[north-north-west]

One of these years I must get around to learning the basics of Tasmanian geology.

Granite: east, especially north east. Quartzite & schist: south west. Conglomerate: west. Sandstone: scattered, lower layers. Dolerite: everywhere in between and often over.

Not sure why someone was thinking of a poet at the time of naming this?

[north-north-west]

Well;, it's not Byron, Manfred, Pindars or Shakespeare ... could be Ossian's Throne though it doesn't look steep enough.

[eggs]

It is indeed Ossians Throne - as viewed from the south
The focus on the foreground probably softens the perception of fall off the peak.

[north-north-west]

I was following the escarpment as close as was practical when I went over that, which does change the perception of it. As did the actual climb; slopes are always steeper when you're going up them.

Not the first name you'd think of in relation to little ol' moi.

Young?

[north-north-west]

I wish ... oh, you mean the photo? Yep, Young.

[Tortoise]

Nice clue. I vaguely remember the days when I didn't have to use special techniques for walking. Next:

[Tortoise]

Think high, people.

could be KW2? I only saw clouds...

The clouds cooperatively lifted for us when we got to KW2. This pic has a fair bit more zoom on it, and it's in a different direction.

Falling Mountain?

[eggs]

I suspect we are looking over the the Guardians and Manfred

[Tortoise]

Falling Mountain?

Good guess, but not quite that far.

Good old Eggs.

[Tortoise]

Between my clue, egg’s clue and nnw’s guess, there it is.

[north-north-west]

Acropolis?

[Tortoise]

Acropolis?

Thank you.

[north-north-west]

Trouble is, you draw a line across Fren chmans, Manfred, Guardians, it doesn't take much variation on the angle to put you on just about any summit in that group.

I should have prepped one before answering. Just gimme a sec ...

ACROpolis...

You punishing us, nnw? Unless there's a signpost I'm missing, it could be one of about 60,000,000 places in Tasmania.
I'm tempted to defy Eggs to find a clue in this one, but of course he will.

There are clues there. It's Dolerite, there's alpine vegetation, an eroded track? It can probably be narrowed to one of merely a few thousand....

Steep descent, pines on the flats and I can see a creek down there ...
There is a signpost not far beyond one edge or another of the shot, and this is a pretty popular route.

[eggs]

I don't know what is out Mt Field East way - but there is some fagus on the flat as well, so lets suggest coming down from Field East?.

[north-north-west]

Right NP, wrong track.

Ah. That's where I went wrong. I thought it was a random bit of eroded soil. It never entered my head that nnw might be on a track!

May have just been crossing it?

No, I was following it. I do sometimes. Just to make life diffiicult for you.
