Ah tc. You moved about the right distance but not in the right direction. This peak looks very different when you see it from the north, where it sits more regally near the lake of the same name. It's in much better camping country than the scrubby rim of the tiers.

Much better direction, but not quite far enough. Don't think there's a Blue Peaks Lake :wink:

That's quite close - but this is a peak much lower than Mt Murchison

Those hills look familiar..
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Thanks TC - lucky guess, I've still to get there one day.
Sorry for the quality of this one, it's all I've got at the moment. Where was I?

Looks to me like Little Horn and Cradle Mtn, in which case you'd be looking across the Forth River valley. Not sure where from though. Maybe February Plains or Borridale Plains. I haven't been to either so can't say if it looks right or not.

Well done, SoB - it was a bit obscure. I was on the February last week.
You're up next...

Where did I try out my new favourite bushwalking feast, "Nik's Gourmet Camembert Parcels", for the first time?

I think it will be fairly easy to establish the general area, but I may need to provide some clues if people can't pin-point the specific location quickly.

Are you next to Explorer Lake? Im probably way off but I am taking a punt based on memory!

Nope I take that back, your too high for explorer or the drop behind you doesn't fit. Its up on the plateau somewhere lol

Not Explorer. But the right general area. We walked past Explorer on our way out the next day.
