Looks a bit like that region but I'm a long way from there. Not Tarkine, or anywhere on the west coast.

Thanks John
Here's a picture from where I was planning to revisit this weekend before the park closures came into effect. Where is it?
Sorry for the poor image quality

Not Russell Falls Creek. I'm out west, but not in the Tarkine.

I've seen many similar places in Tasmania but it reminds me a little of the Bird River track.

Thanks Lucas, I knew the photo was giving me deja vu for some reason.

Good enough WFBW. Heading south just past Lake Youd and started seeing these masses of flowering scoparia. All yours.

I was about to say Cuvier Shelf, but the angles aren't right. I think Coal Hill fits better.

This was on day one of what ended up being an 8 day trip to bag an Abel that I missed on my first visit.

There aren't many places where you would need eight days to bag an Abel. Eldon Range seems most likely, and that does look a lot like the area where you run out of easier ground and have to start thinking seriously about rock-hopping, Whilst on the way up Eldon Peak from Burbury.

Thanks. Needed the clues for that.
I also (re)climbned an Abel during this relaxing little ramble, although I'm not yet on it. Where Is I?

I should point out - I wouldn't have needed 8 days if it weren't for the 3 days stuck in a tent!

Ironstone was closer. I'm not on an Abel. That was the following evening.
