Hanson's? Although that's probably still on the Rodway track.

John pointed out the Rodway Track could be considered as rather long.
I admit my mind went to the section closer to Rodway in answering.
The lad is on Hansons Peak - Little Horn meshing with the rest of Cradle behind.

That view looks familiar, are you on the last bit of the climb up?

We were pretty much on top having lunch. Just went down the side a bit to get a good angle on him.

A long way from there but you're in the correct half of the state.

I think now it might be wild dog tier? If so I'm awfully ashamed. I've seen that thing hundreds of times.

Neither. Both answers are in the frame but Projection is closer.

I've visited that location, but not all of it. Maybe Sandhill Ridge?

It’s low level, definitely not on a ridge. If you look at the ground you might get a clue as to what it would be like in wetter times.

Lime Bay maybe? Although I didn't think there were similar mudflats that far around. Unless this is back towards Premaydena or Koonya? Am I allowed to guess 3 different places in one post - lol... :)

Lime Bay is the closest so far. A little bit west of Lime Bay.

Sloping Lagoon? I assume it's tidal.

I’m sorry John. I missed this one. Yes it’s walking across Sloping Lagoon. It’s not tidal, just completely dry after a dry period.

Thanks Graham. Sounds a bit like Thirlmere Lakes up here, fed by water table, so dries up during prolonged drought.

That's quite a long track, I'm looking for a more specific location. Closest named feature will do.

Easier to start like that and then narrow it down.
The coral fern makes me think you're between Adelaide and Meston.

No worries. Correct. I'm approaching Meston, traversing this pretty spot.
