Closer, but still no. The bluff is not an Abel although I could see two (not-a-bluff) Abels from here. The nearest peak (and my first target for the day) is on the peakbaggers' list, as is the bluff.

It's actually a lot like the area going to Bradys, because that's where it was. The bluff is Billop, back left of centre.
All yours.

Nope, you are a bit too far south, but if you went east from sandym guess and north from tortys guess where they intersect would be pretty much on the money

The Beehive looking over Calders it is, there is some surprisingly nasty scrub in the gullies south of the summit of said Beehive

Pelion West is correct - but actually from the slopes of Mt Murchison :shock:

Looks like I was about 180 degrees out.
Where is this?

That looks like "stack of bricks" off Bruny Island so I think you are down near Courts Island near Cape Bruny on Bruny Island.

That’s Bruny Island in the hazy background. And just to the left of that stack is a well-known peak - an Abel in fact.

That’s in the right area. The land in the mid-ground, with the stack on the end, is an island, with a hazy Bruny behind it.

The Island would be Betsey so you would be at Goats beach I'm guessing.

I’m ESE of Betsy and NW of Shipstern. This is just a pleasant stroll from the end of the road. Popular with surfers.
