Course there is, there's a few trees missing from the foreground if it's Mel...
So how do you get to Birchs?

You got it Mark, it's Mt Lee from the hut at Birches Inlet.

Get there by boat from Strahan, pretty remote place. I actually talked about it in this post.

Thanks Nick. Still very very very very very very very jealous of your trip in there. Not just for the remote peak visiting either. The Orange bellied Parrots are amazing, I love the site at Melaleuca and would love to visit the one at the more remote Birchs inlet!

Snowy North?
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Are you standing at the very top of the Little Fisher Valley looking north-west down the valley?

The foreground suggests maybe around Mt Claude area?
Background suggests farmland in the distance?

Mt Claude area? I guess it's within a 50km radius of Mt Claude.
Yes, there's farmland in the distance.

No, it's not St Valentines Peak.
I'm no geologist but I suspect Mt Claude, St Valentines Pk and the mystery location are all the same rock type.

Ok, total stab in the dark without any cross referencing, and even recognizing you wouldn't be on the summit due to an obvious lack of altitude, how about somewhere near Black Bluff?

What's the name of that lookout you come to on the Cradle Mtn link road, the high point on the highway near the transmission lines where you have a walk that takes you to Black Bluff to the north and some interesting places to the south, the names of which I cannot get without some homework? Anyway, there...

The Belvoir Lookout (on the Cradle Link Rd) is in between Rocky and Prospect Mountains and I am not on any of these.

I'm not on Mt Tor. There's not too many conglomerate peaks in NW Tasmania left to try...
This feature has only appeared one other time in Where Am I. On that occasion they were standing on the eastern end facing east. I'm standing on the western end facing north.
It's worth a point on the Peak Baggers Guide to Tasmania. I need to go there again as I ran out of time before reaching the summit.

I give up, but it was fun trying. At least I narrowed it down a bit for someone else! :D
