Looks a little bit like something just west of Ulverstone to me. Late in the day, looking ENE along the coast. Name of the islands not sure but there is some islands out there with "sisters" in their name, no time to look it up now. Might help someone else...

I knew I had seen this island before.

Haven't been down there yet (we had a whiteout on Pindars which is the closest I got) - but I can match a web picture from the South Coast track with this.
The trick was to realise that everything you can see in the distance are islands! (Hen, Isle Du Golfe, Dee Witt, Maatsukyer)
So are you on the headland between Prion and Osmiridian beaches?

I reckon you are in Rocky Boat Inlet eyeballing Hen Island?

by **eggs** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 9:29 am

robl - that has got to be the spot.
I noticed aljscott posted last night, so perhaps he has forgotten he is running a photo in the comp.
I suggest you post the next one.

The next pic

by **stu** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 11:44 am

Looking toward Florentine Peak from the north.
Probably from the track to Mt Field West.

by **robl** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 11:48 am

Good enough. Its from some distance S of the track.

Next one...

by **eggs** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 12:56 pm

Could this be around Ben Lomond area - perhaps a scree heading up towards Sphinx Bluff?

by **Phil** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 1:07 pm

Definitely very north east for me......was also thinking along the lines of Ben Lomond somewhere. Certainly doesn't look like the Stacks Bluff track.......

by **stu** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 1:17 pm

Nowhere on Ben Lomond massif I'm afraid...

by **Phil** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 1:28 pm

hmmm.........there's quite a large scree on Quamby Bluff but it doesn't feel like Quamby to me? Sorry, I'm of no help

by **Son of a Beach** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 1:59 pm

Reminds me of Ragged Jack, which is not "on Ben Lomond massif" but is very close to it.

by **stu** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 2:34 pm

Not Quamby, not Ragged Jack.
The peak in view is on the Peak Baggers list tho if that helps.
Note the 'quarried' rocks & old fence in the foreground...

An hr til Stu goes home people...

It's nowhere NEAR Ben Lomond. well it'd be around 80k's anyway.......

Is it Mt Claude? I think its not far from Cradle, but I can't quite pick the mountain

by **eggs** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 9:42 pm

I would be surprised if it was Claude - that is conglomerate - but this photo is dolerite rocks.
I suspect he is on the Central Plateau somewhere near the Great Lake.

I actually think this may be one that Mark posted recently. I know Stu has also been here in the last few weeks. I think it is Wild Dog Tier.

by **robl** » Fri 18 Jun, 2010 10:24 pm

Up high, on Poatina Rd?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 5:18 am

Not Wild dog, Wild dog isnt like this at all, Robl is closer VERY close. I wasnt with Stu on this walk, pretty easy to pick where he was though, if you've been here.

by **Eott** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 7:40 am

Somewhere around Lake McKenzie?

by **scrub master** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 4:21 pm

Funny TAS, I could have sworn you were there with us that day. Obviously a bit of old timers creeping in. I know Ollster, MJD and Dave definitely were.
Stu has alrerady mentioned this exact shot is in the Abels book, but it still seems to have stumped people.
BIG hint - have a look at page 56

Website · by **pazzar** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 4:30 pm

Is it Drys Bluff?

by **scrub master** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 4:51 pm

Thats page 56 - not 65 !!!!!

Website · by **pazzar** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 4:52 pm

I'm just guessing - i dont have the abels book, dont really know the area either.

by **eggs** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 5:41 pm

Gosh - getting desperate when you give out page numbers!! But yes - it is an exact replica.

Lets see - 300m climb in less than 3 km return. That really is tourist stuff. :roll:

No wonder its called Sandbanks - though I think making castles and moats on it may be difficult.
Might it be a reference to the nearby lake shores?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 5:51 pm

Not the time I was with him Ivan.
I know stu has done it 4 times, the time I did it with him he didnt own a camera, so it definately wasnt taken on the day I was with him. This photo was taken on a much nicer day than the pooey day I was there!!

by **eggs** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 6:41 pm

Given that this has been solution by committee - I suggest anyone can post the next one. :lol:

by **robl** » Sat 19 Jun, 2010 7:17 pm

So it is Sandbanks, but from where?

I'll post a new pic.
