GAME: Where am I?

[tas-man]

Looking east from above Lake Hanson to the Western Tiers with Artillery Knob on the RH ridgeline.

You're not waiting for anyone to tell you you're right are you???

Spot on tas-man. Clumner Bluff and WOJ in the distance.......so as adam said, what are you waitig for?!?!

[tas-man]

Sheezz fellas . . . I am up to my eyeballs in work at the moment, so only an occasional visitor to the forum in recent months . . .but here's one from an area that I don't think has been covered before. Where was the photo taken from and overlooking what lake for a bonus point!

[eggs]

What a beautiful photo of a beautiful place - one of the great things about this competition.

This one will be really getting Mark's dreaming going - probably a lot of scrub to get here though.

[walkinTas]

It certainly is a beautiful photo, and it looks like an incredible place to visit. At first glance it looked like Paddy's lake, but it is definately not. A nice little glacial lake - somewhere.

[stu]

If you're talking about our Mt Seal trip i'm not sure we'll be in this exact area Brian (if i'm guessing correctly that is?).
I'll guess that this little lake is Lake Nancy, photo taken from the Irenabyss track?

[eggs]

Ahh Stu - definitely not Frenchys area.

You have been on the peaks in the background not all that long ago - something about extended fair weather.
Not sure that you have planned an attack on this part though - but it sure looks good.

[tastrekker]

Between Southern Cone and White Pyramid overlooking Sunrise Tarn?

[eggs]

My turn - I think it is Lake Maconochie with Mt Maconochie rising to the left.
It will be from the ridge / high point on the White Monolith Range just south of Mt M.

The range at the rear is the Frankland Range - with Frankland Peak and Secheron Peak fairly prominent.
I think Right Angle Peak has merged with Secheron?

Wow, now its an even more inspiring pic.
So that would be the Folded Range in the mid ground?
Brian - yes, I have the White Monoliths pencilled in for - 2014???
(2011-Eldons, 2012-POW's, 2013-Spires etc.)...leave time, a very precious commodity

EGGS, you've done it again! Spot on. Photo taken in the saddle south of Mt. Maconochie 950m, between points 844m and 843m on the White Monolith Range, looking north to the Franklands.

I did a search before posting and couldn't find any reference to Mt Maconochie, but later found it mentioned as "Mt Machonocie." Dumb computers

[eggs]

Tasman - thanks for posting.
You should tell us about that trip - that is seriously difficult looking country to traverse.

A more common location:

[tastrekker]

Wow. I was just browsing the map so I didn't deserve to get it right! However, was I right to think the very distant range (clearest if you open the image) would be Mt Field?
(Edit: I'm talking about the Maconochie pic. I too would like to hear about that trip. Was it a traverse from Sculptured Mountain to Cinder Hill? Did you get out to Greystone Bluff?)

That was a great pic from tas-man and not the type of country I expected to see out there...
eggs pic I thought must be on the WAR which is where I thought tas-man's was, but I have a vague memory of a pic like this from the Frenchman's Cap area?
That's all I got...

[stu]

tas-man - I would also love to hear about this trip...any chance of a photo essay / brief description of this trip? (green with envy).

[eggs]

One of stepbysteps areas is correct....

tastrekker - I can see some faint ranges buried in cloud through the low point of the Frankland Range - most likely around Mt Wedge area and north to Clear Hill / Thumbs.

[Bap]

You are on the summit climb to Frenchmans with Lake Tahune on your left far below with the peak in the distance Philps Peak. Near where the track doubles back.

[eggs]

That's it Bap - it was a wonderful place

[Bap]

Here's the picture from my first post on this site, but no one got it so here it is again.

Wow, away for a day and look at all the fun I miss!
Too right that is exciting for me Eggs, I am off to Greystone in Feb!! Cant wait!! Going in over Giblin, and out over Green head to the Port Davey track. The rest of the Monolith range will have to wait for another day for me!! I might come on Stu's trip (in 2014 if I've not done it by then) and sit back having a rest day or 2 while they battle it out to The Cinders

Oh and Bap, your on the coast somewhere

[eggs]

Bap - this has not improved since your first posting of it

Low headlands with a large land mass in the distance - implies looking towards Bruny or the mainland south of Hobart.

Are you somewhere near Storm Cove?

[Liamy77]

Firstly i have no *&%$#! idea where you are Bap...
secondly i would like to point out the bleedin obvious and say that the last few photos are of some *&%$#! magic places! I dont have much chance of guessin here (I'm a few years outta date now) but it's definately fun taggin along with you all BTW ! thankyou for sharing some of your spots!

[Bap]

Ok here's a big hint abowen has this place in his signature line.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Really? Cape Pillar?

[Liamy77]

all i remember from when i was there is mud and fog!!!

[Bap]

Check your maps fella's and eggs is right I am looking at Bruny.

[eggs]

I thought there would be a trick to it - one of the "headlands" is an island...

[ILUVSWTAS]

Salters point

[Bap]

Yep ILUVSWTAS thats the one I was looking for, I knew you had it when you said I was on the coast . This is a great spot to watch the southerly swell come in.
