Not as popular as I thought, apparently. Maybe pick a quadrant of Tassie and go from there. You'll be in royal good company, if you pick the right one. Don't be rattled. You might even want to take your time on a visit, and book accommodation the old way.

That's the one, thanks Last. Vicky & Albert. Pop along the Rattler Range while you're there, and you can always stay in Ringarooma.

Definitely worth popping in. Vicky is worth a revisit anyway, I reckon. We left no bump unclimbed, just in case they change their minds again. I'm glad they can't move the summit of Dome Hill. 8)

That's because I can't identify that plateau down there. I should know it, but it just doesn't click. It's a distinctive shape that should show up on the maps, but ... :?:

haha, tks Tortoise & NNW, fresh but have been a long-time lurker and definitely not in the same league as the experienced group taking part.
Nice to see something I recognised though and hopefully this isn't too easy.

Good sharp image, plenty to zoom in on. I think I'm going to like you.
Dundas and Read at the back. You'd have to be somewhere on Murchison, methinks.

Not the high point, but these cairns do mark a very neat lookout. On what?

The ample cairnage suggests it may be a high point in it's own right.
There's Headlam Hill, which looks like it might fit, a little lower than Split Rock.

It is on Headlam, although the true summit is a little further west.

Thanks, I've driven along that road a few times but only ever done the Pine Lake doddle and Projection Bluff.

This is too easy but we had such a stunning view that day:

Just before you drop steeply down to Lake Windermere on the Overland track?

I'm pretty sure that's the spot Lucas. There's an informal lookout just before you descend. All yours.

It's a very good vantage point that one.

Next - what lake am I walking alongside?

Not Fossil Lake, but not too far away from there as the crow flies.
