Don't worry. I spent far too much time on google too to figure that out.

I am in Vic. Name the peak.

So I post 2 shots from different angles and highlight a 3rd image and in response I get an ice encrusted pole.. :lol:

Since it looks the same as NNW's - Timms Spur Lookout :roll:

yes ... but we have to start obscure right? ... Part of the guessing game?

The old where am I game on ski.com.au used to always have obscure images, but I guess there were a whole lot less areas to pull them from for a bit of variety.

O and nope, on top of a mountain.

Could it be Mt Cope

Fri 06 May, 2011 8:26 pm

Yes Tony. Correct.

Thanks Maelgwn,

I was lucky, I found this photo of Mt Cope

This next one is in the ACT, what is the Mountain called that my mate and I am on.

I have been trying to think of a clue that will help but not give the answer away.

I will try clue, it is one of he most important peaks in the southern ACT.

I don't know the ACT peaks but bimberi for a guess

Sorry it is not Bimberi.

It seems not many BWA members are familar with the ACT, this peak or Mount ? is further east in the center of the southern ACT.

Coronet peak?

Hi Bluegum Mic,

Getting closer, further south south east.

Sat 07 May, 2011 7:43 pm

Mt clear. Ha! Man I'm really guessing. The photo kinda looks like a photo of Yankee hat south.

Hi Bluegum Mic,

You are way too far east, you where much closer with Coronet Peak which is only 6 k away from the Peak in question. After checking the map the mountain only has a one word name, but us locals call it Mount ?

PS it is not Yankee hat south, that is also too far south east.

Hi Tony,
Is it Mt Namadgi?

Yes John, it is Mt Namadgi, my favourite place in the Namadgi NP, I am thinking about going up there in about three weeks.

Your turn John

Thanks Tony. Next one, what is the name of this feature that we are on in NSW?

Federal Pass Track at the landslide?

Yes Federal Pass, crossing the Katoomba landslide. A bit of rain and mist about that day.
Over to you Phil.

Sun 08 May, 2011 11:51 am

Awesome. Thanks John.

Here's one from Easter.
What am I looking at? Extra points if you can name the location of this very scenic campsite.

Sun 08 May, 2011 11:56 am

Sorry folks... In NSW.

Sun 08 May, 2011 5:16 pm

Looks a bit like Mt Jagungal from the south east, but I am not familar with the campsite, could be near the Brassy's

Sun 08 May, 2011 5:30 pm

I can't fault you, Tony.
It is indeed Mt Jugungal from the SE. The campsite is under the rocky outcrop Pt 1829 near The Bulls Peaks.
It was a particularly lovely morning.

You turn.

Sun 08 May, 2011 5:51 pm

Thanks Phil,

Mt Jagungal is one of those mountains that you never forget, I have only seen it from the south in winter with snow.

These next photos are in NSW, I am on a ridge just south of a mountain, which one is it.

Well... there are too many trees for a significant peak on the Main Range. You seem to a fair ways above the surrounding area. How about Mt Guntartan?

Hi Phil you are right that it is not the Main Range, it is not Mt Gungartan and like Gungaratan it is north of the Main Range.

Sun 08 May, 2011 8:35 pm

Hey Tony. This guess feels a little naive but just to get it out of the way... Jugungal?

Otherwise I'm stuck. There is a little regrowth on the gums which suggest it's not too far north. Unfortunately my experience of the area is limited.

Hi Phil,

Good guess, you nailed it, it is Mt Jagungal, we climbed it from the north and went down the south west side where the photo was taken as there is a track back down to the Greymare fire trail (AAWT).

Your turn

Sun 08 May, 2011 9:14 pm

Cheers Tony.
Lets move away from the high country for a moment.
Where in Vic is this ridiculous scene taking place?
