Hi NNW,

Very close but not the answer I am looking for, the ridge is a bit further north off Gungaratan.

I can't think of any ridge names further up except Farm Ridge. Toolong Range. Plenty of lumpy bits, but not a ridge like that. It doesn't really look like the Grey Mare, though I've not been up there in winter.

Of course, it could be further up. I think I'd better leave this one for the snowbirds.

Hi NNW,

None of those, I am sure you know the ridge, you where much closer with Gungartan.

Yes it is the Kerries, stunning country, I have only been on them in winter.

Back in Victoria. The view from another campsite. Which imaginatively named lump am I on, and what is the distinctive peak on the horizon?

I hate to be a pain, but could you sort of narrow it down - like telling us which state you're in, which is kind of in the rules . . . ?

Thanks.
Hmmmm, that makes it interesting. Looks more East MacDonnells than West, but not quite like anything I remember. I'm going to have to go back through some old photos and see what I can match up. This should be fun.
Don't wait up. I may be some time . . .
