I'd rather not be too specific, but part of the trip involved checking out reports from the Malbena campaign of a rogue trackcutter operating between Eagle and Norman.


Sheesh... walking between Eagle and Norman is clear and easy (at least compared so some other nearby areas). Why would they do that? (Rhetorical question, of course.)

Probably junction then.

The walking through there isn't too bad for us walkers and fishers. But they won't want the high paying guests walking through even light scrub when they're flown in.

I was just looking for a longish lake in the area.
Where was I choosing my breakfast cereal?

john correctly identified Lake Geeves which I hadn't been able to do, despite having been there more than once, so he can have it.

Very generous Last, thanks. A place I'm likely to visit only in my dreams.

Well yes, but looking for a more specific location.

Correct eggs. I had walked up from Lake Wilkes and returning to the bus stop via Kitchen Hut/OLT etc.
EDIT: I think you meant south? i.e. I was near the junction with the Face Track.

I am fairly confident you were north John - but still on the Overland track.
This photo has 3 rings - the face track junction, Kitchen Hut and the Horse track junction.
The foreground humps and the skyline peaks are almost the same as your shot.

However, I think Last should go next. :)

eggs, I accept your analysis. Your reputation for accuracy is well known.
I was going by the sequence and time stamps of my photos, plus vague memory (the latter not always 100% reliable).
In any case there is not a lot in it distance-wise.

Last, you have the floor...
