GAME: Where am I?

[north-north-west]

Oops. I think that's supposed to mean that I'm up. Not that I could get a photo to load until now.

This just happens to be where I'm up to with reworking some old material.

Mt Oana?

[north-north-west]

Why do I even bother when you're around? Yes, Oana; that was a good walk.

[eggs]

You bother because
* it's fun
* you have the broadest range of photos.
* I often don't respond quickly
* I often get things wrong.

As it was, this took some work, but using Barn Bluff I could draw a useful line on a map.
Next then

This was from a couple of weeks ago.
My objective on a short visit was to see the scoparia in flower - which turned out to be mostly gone.

We did see some better spots and this was one of them.
It was the last dash site so no hiking - the car was next to us.
There is a glimpse of a man made object amongst the scrub in view.

[johnw]

It's not looking up at the Sentinel Range is it? Maybe the object is the initial footpad from the car park?

[johnw]

Rethinking, maybe not jagged enough for the Sentinels.
It does resemble Mt Roland, though I'm not sure of the approach point.
Maybe from the end of Kings Road?

[eggs]

Neither - there is not much "up" in the looking. I am on the tops along with the road.
You have to be high to see this scoparia

Lake Mackenzie?

[eggs]

Better suggestion, but no.
This is more a ridgeline than a plateau

[johnw]

Markham Heights?

[eggs]

Even closer, but that is a big plateau back O'there...
not in that park.

[bluewombat]

Probably leaves Mt Barrow

[eggs]

Which is correct. Towers hidden in tbe cloud

[bluewombat]

Where was I camped

[bluewombat]

It's a named campsite on a prominent Abel

[Tortoise]

Looking very Notchy. Shelf Camp? Edit: though arguably that's not on an Abel.

[bluewombat]

Shelf Camp it is, over to you.

[Tortoise]

Shelf Camp it is, over to you.

Thanks, bw. I think over-thunk it. Magnificent spot. Next:

[Graham51]

From Mt Wedge?

[Tortoise]

From Mt Wedge?

Not a bad guess, Graham. More zoom, though, and things don't line up quite right for Wedge.

[L_Cham_67]

Mt Weld?

[eggs]

Maybe Mt Eliza?

[Graham51]

Mt Sprent?

[Tortoise]

Maybe Mt Eliza?

And the master has it. Climbing up to the plateau from High Camp hut.

As a general note for folks: It's a bit tricky with zooming in (for the detail) and out for the context and seeing where the line takes you, but I've found using the line drawing tool on LISTmap helpful for angles - especially like this photo, where the peaks are clear. In the photo, Reeds Peak is closer to the Thumbs than to Clear Hill, which takes you on a line to Eliza. If you draw the line as far as you can and click, then zoom out, continue the line at the same angle, and repeat, it'll get you closer to the spot. If you have time to play with it, of course.

[eggs]

Thanks Tortoise

Of course, that is exactly what I did.
However, the rough lineup could have suggested Anne as well as Eliza.
So it was up to the foreground detail, and it was the snippet of road that had me favouring Eliza in the end.

[Graham51]

Hugel Plateau?

[eggs]

Yes Graham

[Graham51]

Thank you.
Where was I last week?

[Letstryagain]

On the wonderful SW cape range looking down to the remarkable windowpane bay.
