You got it - the Cascades Female Factory it is. More info. at http://www.femalefactory.com.au/

And yes ... we locals have heard all those jokes about "I didn't know that's where females came from"! :roll:

Even further off-track, here's a pic. of the other famous South Hobart factory. I was trying out a new Canon EOS 550D (but that's another story).

cheers

So ... where's this one?

Oh, I didn't check the Kosci list.
Go for it.

I am sure I the other pic is L Meston north end. (water level a bit low.)

The correct answer for my pic is "The Friends' School Scout Hut, Mt Arthur. (in the south)"

Mmmm...is that the hill with a number for a name as you head to Mary Creek Plain, near the Raglan Range, Tasadam?
Hill 711 or something, just after you climb out of the Franklin River near the Irenabyss?

No, sorry. The rock colour might help. And the knowledge that you are too far north with your guess. I'm going to be pretty busy tomorrow, might bot get a chance to respond until tomorrow evening.

tasadam hasn't posted this one before - but he has posted something like it from his SW Cape trip.
I believe he did not quite get to the top of the peak in this photo - something about thick scrub...

Yep Adamsons. We put nesting boxes in a clearfelled logging coup as a symbol of hope for habitat restoration in the future. Over to eggs I think,

No way - you are so far away from Adamson's that you would need a day to walk there - has anyone actually picked up where you were?

"the little birdhouse in the forestry coupe" was at least an attempt..

I think robl should get it.
Not sure if it is from across the highway - but there is a lot of forestry from Tylers Hill heading towards Adamson's
