GAME: Where am I?

[Graham51]

Yes. Not too hard.

I haven't been there since 1973 but it's pretty much as I remember it.
Next .....

[icefest]

SCT just east of the black beach?

[north-north-west]

Nope. He's looking at the Blade from the seacliffs on Cape Pillar.

[Graham51]

SCT just east of the black beach?

SCT - South Coast Track? Black Beach - I don't know where that is.
But this is not there.

[Graham51]

Nope. He's looking at the Blade from the seacliffs on Cape Pillar.

That's right.

[north-north-west]

Was down there just a couple of weekends back. That circuit's still a good little walk.

OK, from my most recent getaway; where was I this beautiful morning:

[pazzar]

Mt Cripps?

[north-north-west]

I was hoping it would take a little longer than that. Yes, Cripps it is.

[pazzar]

Sorry for not posting a photo sooner - it's anyone's go now, I'll be stuck at work for the next few days.

As for Mt Cripps, it was hard to think of anything grassy that had St Valentines in view!

[ILUVSWTAS]

WA mid range?

[icefest]

WA mid range?

Yes, any more details that you want to give? or do you think it's clear enough?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Your photo, your call bud!

Just trying to slim it down for anyone who might like a go. I'll check back later and have a more approximate guess if no-one has jumped in.

[icefest]

C'mon guys, there's gotta have been at least a couple who've walked this range before

[north-north-west]

Well, there's a rock at the back left of centre that looks like the one above Haven, and that twin-summitted peak an equal distance to the right could well be Taurus, which would put you somewhere on the Beggaries . . . how much more specific does it have to be?

Beggaries is perfect!

All yours!

[north-north-west]

Right, thanks. Now, what was I going to do next . . . how about another from a recent getaway?

[north-north-west]

More than 40 views and no guesses? Time for a clue.
There's a scientific connection here, in common with a number of other names in the area.
Also a literary connection, one that - if you follow it through sufficient degrees of separation - links with my name.

[icefest]

Is this on the central west coast?

[Strider]

Definitely on the west coast as that is Macquarie Harbour in the distance and the CMT tailings damn to the right. Mt Owen?

[north-north-west]

You're in the right area, lads, very much on line, but it's not Owen.

[Tortoise]

Lyell?

[north-north-west]

No, Lyell - like Owen - was the next day (and much more fun).

[Tortoise]

Darwin then? I've heard that's um... less inspiring than some others around there.
Edit - though might be too far away.

[north-north-west]

No, you've gone too far now. I've yet to do Darwin and it's cohorts. Doesn't leave much, does it . . .

[Tortoise]

Doesn't leave much, does it . . .

Reckon I'll find a few Jukes? can't figure the clues though

[Tortoise]

Huxley?? Literary, yes, otherwise...

[north-north-west]

Huxley?? Literary, yes, otherwise...

Of course! "..Oh, brave new world, that has such creatures in it" The other well-known (and related) Huxley being an evolutionary-minded scientific critter he, like Darwin and Co, got one of the minor lumps, while the Abels went to the more 'traditional' minded geologists.

Take it away, Torty.

[Tortoise]

Ta, NNW. Hope this one isn't too obscure. Name the river, the track or the crossing.

[Tortoise]

Also a literary connection, one that - if you follow it through sufficient degrees of separation - links with my name.

I bet you get David Astle's cryptic crosswords out!
