Thanks Graham. I was reasonably sure, but on my only trip to Projection I didn't walk that far across it.

Yes teak, in extremely blustery conditions. The wind actually face planted me into the ground immediately I arrived on that little plateau.
There is some sort of weird weather phenomenon that happens up there.

If you overdo it it could be Lake Thor but I think you may be referring to Stretcher lake?

Well done, Last. The best I could come up with was Downward Dog Lake :roll: , or Serenity Sound - and nope, that's not the Franklin River.

Phew. I thought this was going to hang round for the whole week.
Yes, a short little toddle from the track if you do it the easy way, although I may have done a bit of wandering around before and after. Good little tent site as well, except for the firepit. :x

All yours teak, I think it's actually from a little south of there but that's the answer I wanted.

Thanks Teak. I'm not very good at this game, but that view is one I've seen many times.

Hint time... This is usually a simple creek crossing point. On this occasion, we decided it was too dangerous, and turned back.

(The banks of the creek on both sides are actually further back than they look, with the vegetation growing out over the creek beyond the banks. It would have required a running-jump from knee-deep water over the ground above the bank on the left onto a slippery rock, and then a jump onto the knee-deep bank on the right, but not actually knowing where the creek ended and bank/land started.)

That's correct. This is the usual spot to cross Explorer Creek, a little below Lake Explorer.
