GAME: Where am I?

[Last]

There's a flying fox marked on the map on the river Ouse near the start of the liawenee canal?

[north-north-west]

Which is the one Graham refered to, which isn't this. This isn't marked on a map, although the appropriate 1:25000 does show something nearby.

[north-north-west]

Go south everyone, go south. But only a bit.

River Ouse, south of the intake for the Monpeelyata Canal??

[Graham51]

I’m only guessing at this stage. I’ve never stopped at Little Pine Lagoon but this could possibly be near the bridge over Little Pine River just above the lagoon, maybe near the bridge shown on the map. Didn’t someone else have a picture of that bridge on here recently?

Cora Lynn, near the old HEC hydrology station

Who, what, where? ListMap keeps seizing up when I try to search that.

OK, it wasn't really fair to put this one up because not only is it not on a map, but it's obviously not something known of by 99.999999% of peopple. Well, I didn't know it was there until I saw it.

It is on the Little Pine River, but not near the footbridge - it's about 2km south of Lake Kay, and a bit less than one km south of the disused recorder station, track and bridge the 1:25 topos show, although there's is no visible sign of any of those ever having existed. Nothing else there except the burnt out remains of old fences.

Graham has been the closest, so I should hand it over to him.

Always wanted to walk from LP to Kay...with a rod. Photo looked very LP-ish.
Another cool reason to lurk on this thread...

Yeah, I did a loop, going up the eastern side of the lagoon and river - which may have turned out to be a mistake because the western side is definitely easier walking - and back via a few other lakes. The lakes themselves didn't impress me much for fishing, but there are some lovely pools in the river above this point that looked like perfect trout water, being wide and still with good overhangs.

[Graham51]

Thanks NNW. I saw heaps of fish rising at Lake Sally recently but sadly didn’t have my fly rod with me. Maybe Little Pine River would be worth a look.

This is from last Sunday. What mountain was I descending?

[north-north-west]

Snowy South track?

[L_Cham_67]

Picton?

[Graham51]

Yes, this was coming down off Mt Picton.

[L_Cham_67]

One of my favourite daywalks that one, even if I've only made the top once in 4 attempts because of weather

Next one:

[north-north-west]

That looks very Milkshake Hillsish.

On the Razorback looking over Cracroft Plains

On the Razorback looking over Cracroft Plains

That was more my thought.

[L_Cham_67]

On the Razorback looking over Cracroft Plains

Yep, that is where I was.

[eggs]

Tortoise can go next

[Tortoise]

Tortoise can go next

That's very kind, Eggs. Next:

[Tortoise]

Hmm. I thought folks would at least have had a go by now. There's a classic Abel clearly in view, with a neighbouring one giving a good indication of the direction to look in. There's another one kinda hiding in the trees. We're approaching the base of a 4th, which has a nasty reputation, but is actually a nice walk in good conditions, unless you find a lot more scrub than we did.

[north-north-west]

The two peaks at the back look like Castle Mtn and Eldon Bluff. You couldn't see them like that from the South Eldon Saddle and the terrain and vegetation look wrong for that anyway. It looks more like the country near Five Duck Tarn, but I don't recall getting that sort of view of those peaks from there and there is too much of the wrong sort of ridge in between anyway.
Another spot which looks like that is the buttongrass saddle south east of Nereus but, again, the ridge in front of Eldon Bluff (if that's what it is) causes problems because the knobblby bits on that ridge look like the Amphitheatre or possibly a weird angle on High Dome and now you see why I hate this game because we're probably not even in the Reserve.

[Tortoise]

For someone who reckons they're bad at this game, you sure get a lot right.
Yes to Castle Mt and Eldon Bluff. Yes to the buttongrass saddle SE of Nereus. Problem with knobbly bits? I reckon the quality of the image is too poor to even figure out what's in front of what.

[north-north-west]

Well, you see, that's the other major problem: it's like left/right - on the odd occasion I get it right I second-guess myself into being sure it's wrong.

[north-north-west]

You have about five hours to get this before I head out. If it hasn't gone off by then, anyone who wants to post a shot may take over.

[eggs]

Well first thoughts are a boardwalk track on a shelf - at Mt Field heading for the Tarn Shelf?
But I haven't tried to work out the background yet.

[north-north-west]

You're in the right quadrant of the island, eggs, but you really need to have a goood look at the background, because that's what gives it away.

[eggs]

It was hard to think where else a boardwalk might be - not familiar with the Wellington Range.
But I am hoping to visit Sara Jane soon, and looking at recent satellite images - it appears there is a board walk there now - on the track around it.

[eggs]

As promised, NNW is gone tramping.
I am sure this is a view from the slopes of Sarah Jane - Mt Weld poking through at back.

So next one - there is some zoom in this, but where am I?:

Olympus over Lake St Clair from the Frankland Beaches

[Last]

Is that the Lake St Clair monster showing itself to the right?
