Yes, but not that close to Tyndalls. If you drew an east - west line across the state from the Tyndalls, it is north of there

You are in the right general area, I am not on the usual approach to this trig.

It doesn't look like anything else in the Tyndalls ... it's the wrong sort of rock for Eldons, etc ... it's not Owen or anything in the Frenchmans Group ... Sorell and Murchison are the only ones I can think of that have a ragged enough set of connecting ridges on that sort of rock and I'm fairly sure Sorell's trig was toppled years ago. That leaves Murchison.

Yes Murchison is correct, I was on the Western side having come from Lake Sandra.

Figures. I've done that route, but in the opposite direction. It looks a lot steeper from there to the trig than I recall.

I had thought Western Bluff - but shifting thoughts to Clumner now.
Which might place someone on February Plains?

Neither Stacks nor Midlands.

It is Clumner. But I'm not on February Plains. There is zoom and cropping in this one.

I thought those familiar with the ABCs of Tas peaks might have had a shot at this one..

I think it is Western Arthurs between the top of Alpha Moraine and Mount Hesperus.
