GAME: Where am I?

[johnw]

Thanks, next:

South Esk River near the Hoo Hoo hut, Trevallyn State Recreation Area, Launceston

[Son of a Beach]

The weir, the casurinas and willows, along with some agricultural land (and is that houses at top-left?) remind me of the South Esk.

Comparing with the maps, it looks like a good fit for the weir near the old hydro intake for the old Duck Reach Power Station.

Which would place you at one of the lookout spots near the end of Duck Reach Road, a bit past the Hoohoo Hut.

(I don't think I've ever been to those lookout spots, myself, despite having lived nearby most of my life, and having had BBQs at the Hoohoo Hut many times.)

Pretty much spot on Nik. This was from nearly 20 years ago, we did a circuit up the gorge/South Esk past the dam via Duck Reach, Hoo Hoo Hut et al and back via Reedy and Snake gullies.
Not traditional bushwalking territory, more likely favoured by locals for after work exercise etc. On one of our several stays in Lonnie over the years.

[Son of a Beach]

Thanks John. It is a nice area to have so close to the city.

Next...

[Thornbill]

For some reason I want to say looking at Rufus. But for some other reason I'm not so sure

You're on the right track... it is looking at Rufus. Should be fairly easy to figure out roughly where I was to get this view of Rufus a couple of weeks ago.

[Thornbill]

Let's say Shadow Lake track

[Son of a Beach]

Yes, that's it, of course. We were on our way to climb Little Hugel and then camped at Shadow Lake.

(Sorry for the late reply!)

[Thornbill]

Always an enjoyable spot.

Where was the tent recently when I lazily snapped this pic from the door?

[teak]

Lake Lucy Long?

[Thornbill]

Spot on. Nice camping around that area too.

[teak]

Thank you, where was I in this photo?

[north-north-west]

Somewhere foggy with a good track doown below that I should recognise but don't.

[eggs]

Twood be a track to a temple..

[north-north-west]

Indeed, from Halls Buttress, one assumes.
I wish had I had the part of your brain that does that, eggs.

[eggs]

Using the old names I see.
I believe it is Solomons Throne now.
We climbed the "West Wall" way back in 1986

[teak]

Listmap still recognises Halls Buttress as a search term so NNW has it.

[north-north-west]

Depends on the name. I'm seeing a lot of dual naming come up on ListMap now, and I'll be adopting a lot of those, but sometimes I like the old (like, start of my bushwalking career era old) names.

Where would you need to be to get this view?

[Graham51]

I’ve never been there but is that Lake Fergus?

[north-north-west]

It is, so where am I?

[Graham51]

I guess you were on Skittleball Hill. Interesting name. Why was it called that?

[north-north-west]

Skittleball it was, and a lovely thing it is, but no idea on the name.

[Graham51]

I wouldn’t mind going there to do some fishing. Back in the 1990’s a friend said the road was just a muddy bog but that road looks all right. Is it?

Where was I last week?

[north-north-west]

The road is great (it's fairly new, or at least newly improved) but you're not supposed to walk it and I've no idea how you get permission to drive in there and a key for the gate. But there is a walking track from Little Pine, although it's a bit soggy around the lagoon a lot of the time.

[eggs]

Hopefully heading into/coming from better weather than we had - looking into Anne River gorge from the Lake Judd track

[Graham51]

Yes, heading out after three perfect days.

[eggs]

Lucky you.

Next one - name these hard to see falls.

Whitham Falls viewed very briefly from the Anthony Road

[eggs]

The irony is that they are not far from the road I was on.

[Last]

Are they Whitham falls?

[eggs]

Yes Last - worked in the area for 2 months as a student and never saw them, despite later walking along the 4WD road at the base of the range.
Caught this brief view on a small rise on the newer Anthony Road and had to go back and record it.
