GAME: Where am I?

[tastrekker]

Hartz Peak?

[Robbo]

Yes, tastrekker, just on the way up to the summit.

Your turn...

Looks like it could be Mt Pillinger from near the track junction next to Lake Ayr?

[tasadam]

Pillinger? I can't see any mountain. I can't see past those LEECHES in that buttongrass in the foreground...
Go wander out there to take a photo and see what colour you are when you get back if you don't have DEET.

[eggs]

Very funny - the only time I went through here was my first visit to Tasmania 30 years ago.

It was very wet as we crossed through and I remember 2 things clearly.
We stopped next to some bushes besides Lake Ayr for a snack, and as we relaxed we had a strange sensation that the bushes were moving. Closer inspection revealed that they were covered in leeches.
The other was that in the course of falling over a few times in the button grass, my eye managed to get a bit gummed up and after we eventually got to what was then the New Pelion Hut (nothing like the current one - and after being turned away from Old Pelion Hut as it was full) I discovered I had a leech on my eyeball.
Nothing that a bit of salt couldn't fix, but it drew some yelps from some girls in the hut - and it was fully blood red for a number of months afterwards.

[tastrekker]

Well done Eggs and TasAdam. I think you're all over this one but I'm not actually all that close to Lake Ayr. It was taken from the brand new board walk which is under construction down to Old Pelion Hut. There's a fair bit of zoom involved. You're up Eggs.

[eggs]

I have been getting awarded a few too many that I actually have got wrong!
I presume that this is the clearing with New Pelion Hut on the far edge. The trees lining the other side will then be where the Arm River Track passes.

Another "where's Wally" one - should be easy enough to say where I am - but what object can you detect in it?
I apologise that in reducing it down to web site dimensions it is not as clear as it once was...

[tastrekker]

Thanks for the feedback Eggs. Last week I was a tad harsh (remember Mersey River versus Shipwreck Beach?). This week I'm a tad lenient. I guess somewhere in the middle would be good?

Anyway...
Are we on Marions Lookout overlooking Crater Lake? The where's Wally objects would be the trig point on Mt Beecroft, Baden Powell Lodge and the Crater Lake Boat Shed but I can't actually make out any of these objects with the given photo resolution.

P.S. I've had another look and I guess you could almost say BP Lodge is visible albeit about 6 pixels high and 9 pixels wide!

[eggs]

No doubts on this one.
Overlooking Crater from near Marions Lookout with the Scout Hut just in view on the opposite ridge above the lake outlet.

You're up again.

[tastrekker]

Engaging in some sea spurge eraditcation on a river somewhere. Where was I?

[eggs]

Still fairly quiet.
Apart from thinking this looks North coast - I had no idea.
Thought all the beach dwellers from down there might have jumped in though, with that rather distinctive block on the far shore. [Where are you tasadam?]

However, a quick scan with Google Satellite and it picked up a strange object on the foreshore near Devonport. Is it a boulder?
Could it be that you are looking over the Don River to Don Heads? [Be very tough on me if this is not quite right.]

[tastrekker]

Hmmm... I thought this one may have been a bit obscure. I guess with my recent photo taken from a beach in the Mersey River estuary, Eggs didn't have to scan far with Google Satellite to pick up the distinctive bassalt sea stack at Don Heads. Yes, I'm on the opposite shore of the Don River.

[eggs]

I was a bit flukey picking up that headland. I was not working from your recent history.

Next one: [No where's Wally this time]

[Bap]

Is it Donaghy's Lookout, with The Frenchman in the clouds

[eggs]

Well done Bap

Your turn to post a photo

I would have got that one blindfolded... Well, not literally, you know.
We walk to that basalt column from home. Along the shore at low tide is magnificent.

[Bap]

Where was this photo taken.

[tastrekker]

Ripper photo, Bap. There are some rarely visited peaks in the background. Are you on Mt Hyperion?

P.S. Welcome to the forum!

[Bap]

Thanks, I've been wanting to join for awhile now and saw a good opportunity.

I'm just short of the summit actually, but yes I am on Mt Hyperion. Your go Tastrekker.

[tastrekker]

Oops! Sorry folks. Busy day and I forgot that I had guessed this one. I'm just running down to scan a pic now.

[tastrekker]

[Bap]

Are you on Little Throne looking east towards forty Lakes Peak and Ironstone Mt

[tastrekker]

Spot on. Well done Bap! I look forward to your next offering.

[Bap]

I'm at work now so I don't have alot of photos, but try this one out.

[Bap]

Since theres been no guesses in the last nine hours, I think it is time for a clue.

This place is on the Tasman Peninsula, and is a half day walk also there is an exploded WWII artillery shell near by.

[Bap]

Since there's been no guesses, and to keep the game moving, here is a replacement photo.

[Azza]

hmmm... looks like it could be Frenchmans Cap in the distance?

[Bap]

Quite right that is Frenchmans Cap. But which direction am I looking at it from???

[eggs]

Is it the view from Wylds Craig?
