Haven't been there (...yet.. :idea: )

But are you on the track off the Arthur Plains coming/going from Luckman's Lead - with the picture facing through the gap with Luckmans Lead running up the mountain at the far rear?
I should add this gap is where Pass Creek goes through. And this is on the north side of Pass Creek

Good guess, I can see exactly what/where you mean.
But no this is not the Arthur Plains

How about the side of the ridge leading down to the eastern end of Hidden Bay - looking north?

Ok - so west means a reasonable way west - somewhere between New Harbour Range and Window Pane Bay.

My very first thoughts when I saw this was skirting the north west side of New Harbour Range - but thought there would be more open valleys in view.
But maybe not..
Is it from the north west side of the New Harbour Range? On the track between Melaleuca and New Harbour?

Looks like it might have been from leeches? There is blood on his foot as well.

I take it this area was essentially trackless? [ I thought it looked a bit like a track where you were]

Hi Brian! Yes it is essentially trackless, tho a good pad does exist in places over the south west cape range and also down into horseshoe creek.

I am in brain fade on this one.

My initial thoughts were 40 Lakes Peak - but shape is not quite right and that looks like burnt out gum trees on the slopes.

I also considered Rogoona from the north - but still no fit.
I think the big clue has to be an extensive area of burnt out trees. I know there are lots of these areas on the central plateau - but I cannot place the rise.

I'm not used to hearing you stumped Brian! Actually I think that might be snow and frost damage on the trees as much as fire damage. And it's not anywhere near the Central Plateau ... somewhat closer to Hobart (tho' not the Wellingtons).

I'm away for a couple of hours, but will check in later,

cheers

Good to see the brain getting focussed again Brian :)

Yes, it's near Windy Moor headed towards Mt Field East in winter. Icicles were tinkling in the trees ... a gorgeous winter's day.

Back to you eggs,

cheers

There are lots that I don't know.

And I haven't indulged in Tassie during winter yet.

Where is this?

That's gotta be Daisy Lakes (north), taken from the ridge between there and the Long Tarns. Here's my photo from approximately the same place. :-)

It looks like you are on the boardwalk in Cradle Valley (near Ronny Creek) with Crater Peak in the distance.
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

That's it... having just set out from Ronnie Creek car park on our way to a couple of nights at the Scout Hut with 6 kids under 6.

Your turn, Bap.

Its the weekend again. :roll:

This does not have the look of dolerite about it.
So I will hazard a wild guess that you might be looking up at the side of Mt Jukes in the West Coast Range from the road that goes over its edge?
