The rock on the distant ridges looks like dolerite, while that on the closer ground looks more like quartzite or conglomerate.
Which doesn't help me much ...

You are correct and it should help you. There are only so many places you look from one to another.

Thanks for the clues. I feel a tad guilty about some general inside info, but after 3 days that's probably OK. It matches my photo from... Tahune hut?

Thanks, Last. And nnw. I really must get around to fixing the date on my camera. Being out by about 14 hours (or something) messes with my head when i try to work out what time of day I was where.

Actually, I'm on the Davey Track, but that's just being a pedant.

You've correctly identified the Arthur Plains!

I''ve just come out of the scrub on the hill directly north of Junction Creek.

A little generous - but your description allowed the photo to bring back memories.
