You expect me to work out the angles? That's for other people; I'm doing well just identifying some landmarks. But it's probably something really obvious like Owen or Tyndall or Murchison.

Pretty close to the line, Eggs, but there's more zoom on it.

Wrong angle, Last - though when I tried lining things up on this one, I found it particularly tricky.

Those intervening ridges are what are bothering me. Makes me think of the Hugel plateau, although it would be tricky to avoid having Goulds Sugarloaf in the frame while including Eldon Bluff ...

Yes, they bothered me too. Eggs will tell us what they are. But Hugel Plateau it is.

Well, someone else is going to have to jump in, because I'm packing to head out for a while.

Not Lake Plimsole or Lake Salina.
This waterbody doesn't have 'lake' in its title.
