Thanks, Geevesy. Next one has a fair bit of zoom:

Not Wylds, but we could see it from here.

And I may have misled you - there's not as much zoom as there would have been from Wylds.

Which rules out Shakespeare. Diamond being south of Frenchmans should also rule out Reeds or Bonds, but I don't think it's far enough south to be from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse, so I'm at a loss. Probably just not reading those angles right.

Correct

Diamond being south of Frenchmans should also rule out Reeds or Bonds
Incorrect, but it's neither of those. You're closing in on it here.

but I don't think it's far enough south to be from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse
Incorrect, if I understand you. It's too far south to be from from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse

Probably just not reading those angles right.
I had a go myself, as if coming at it cold. The angles are quite tricky. It helped when I added (what I think is) Clytie to the Frenchmans/Diamond Peak mix.

That's the spot, Last. I can highly recommend camping between Lk Gordon and Pokana for a lovely leisurely lounge on top. Much better than an 18 hour day without getting to the summit on our previous attempt!

I think this is Ben Lomond, Ragged Jack on the left, Barrow the long ridge with the tower right at the back; maybe heading towards Mensa Moor summit?

That doesn't narrow it down much.
Is there a Lord involved or more of a royal endeavour?

Thanks nnw. I'm better at the cryptic clues, than recognising views and lining up peaks.
I had initially thought it might have been from Mt Lord, but on checking, it doesn't match any of my views.

It is Mt Lord, zooming in on Conical (I think). At least, it should be, given the filing system ... has to be close if not actually on the summit.
I'm passing it over to you anyway. Get in there and give us our next shot.

These tarns don't have a name, so description of vicinity will suffice.
