I go away for two days and no-one even has a guess? And I thought this one was set up not to fail...

There is a clue in my previous post.

It's a track, but not on the map.

Since this is not progressing - is it somewhere near the Blue Tiers?

No, but it is in the northern half of the island.

Well, there's a Success Creek on the West Coast. But as far as figuring out the track you're on that isn't on the map - well, I'm too pooped!

You're thinking about that clue the right way, although that isn't the correct answer. It's not on the coast. Still, credit to you.
This is fairly close to a famous Tasmanian place. Far too famous, in fact...

No, but that's the right NP and closest guess so far.

So I can now identify Heemskirk and Mt Black.
Clearly this is a telephoto shot.
The famous spot is probably Cradle Mt/Barn Bluff area.
The track which is not on the map may be a reference to the Innes Track
So perhaps from Mt Inglis?

You're slowly getting closer. To repeat the pertinent part of my first clue: ...set up not to fail...

That's it - Riggs Pass. A great little walk, especially with some snow.

Yes norts - Crater Peak was our destination on this part of the walk.
In all my visits to the Cradle area I had never before visited it, but it was well worth the effort.

My first 5 trips through the park were always up the Horse Track. Dad didnt like going up Marions it was a bit more of a scramble in those days.

*swear word* *swear word* *lots of swear words*

I know that stag. I have photos of it. But trying to remember where it is . . . Frenchmans Track? Although it looks more like Southern Ranges country...

I thought someone might take the hint by now?
Perhaps he is traversing out of the saddle between Ossa and Paddys Nut - looking south to Eros and Walled Mt?

I have, but it's not the easiest little pointy thing to identify. The cliffs middle distance on the right seem to be a better prospect.
