GAME: Where am I?

[mountainhigh]

... is it Mt Stokes? ...

That's it, IDP! I'm at the summit of Mt Stokes, looking over Bramble Cove, the Breaksea Islands, and beyond.

I paddled a packraft (of all things) from Melaleuca for a week exploring and walking the hills around Bathurst Harbour and Port Davey.

Over to you --->

[IDP]

Thank you MH
That view is so beautiful, I am jealous.
I have been to Spain Bay, which I think is visible in your photo. The logistics of bringing kayaks from interstate seem a little difficult for me, though would love to paddle around Bathurst Harbour one day - looks stunning.

Next, where am I looking at this well-known feature (and the well-known mountain to its immediate left)?

Tribulation ridge

Yes, that's why I was in a packraft. Possibly the most unsuitable vessel for an adventure of this nature, but one you can send on a light plane to the area. It turned out to be an excellent week.

I think I know exactly where your new picture is. I'll try to sit on my hands and let someone else have a go, but I'm excited because I'm planning my Christmas trip to this area!

I thought that was Coronation Peak so I did a search and found an almost identical picture won the photo competition in 2011. Is it called The Rock Dragon?

[IDP]

That’s it
I’m on Tribulation Ridge looking at Coronation Peak

[Graham51]

There are some impressive outcrops there.
Where was I sitting here?

Steanes Tarn?

[Lostsoul]

Steanes Tarn?

Correct

[eggs]

This is an old slide

[north-north-west]

Very old. Lake Spicer Track , north of Walford?

[eggs]

Yes - we were accessing the Tyndall range by the ridge next to Rolleston.
The Anthony Road had recently been built.
Lake Plimsoll would dominate this view today.

[north-north-west]

Oops, I forgot about this. Sorry.
Wet bit has a name.

Travellers Rest Lake?

[north-north-west]

You're not a million miles away, but no. There is a track most of the way here.

[Graham51]

Is it Travellers Rest Lagoon?

[mountainhigh]

or maybe Lake Youd?

[eggs]

Johnsons Lagoon?

[north-north-west]

And, inevitably, eggs gets it.

[eggs]

Nothing inevitable about that.
It had to be relatively flat nearby with lots of reeds near a track but not on a track.
Lucky to find it using maps & satellite imagery.

Lets try another old slide

[mountainhigh]

Mt Oakleigh?

[Reubs]

King David's Peak?
Very cool slide

[eggs]

Yes - this is from King David's Peak [only known as the Western Wall when we climbed it]

[Reubs]

Thanks eggs
That's very interesting; it's a special place.
The next one shouldn't be too hard..
