Looks like some nice easy walking down there, for a while.

That's Sedgwick on the right, isn't it? Just hang on a sec while I work out the angles, although I think you would have to be near The Bastion. Don't recall it looking like that from Geikie or The Chin.

Only time I got a view from Geikie there was a lot of snow around and it looks very different when everything's white.
Plateau looks different to my shots too. Maybe Last is a lot taller. And a bit further north than the only image I can find from near the summit.

Close enough NNW, it is from Geikie. I am not tall.

There's more of the ground behind the rock plateau visible, so you have to have been higher than I was.

Different type of view:

Wrong side of the centre line. Direction of view is a little less inaccurate.

mmmm, I checked a photo I took from Arthur a few months ago and the paddocks matched pretty well...but the hills, not so much.

I've got a feeling my second thought is actually closer but I'll let others jump in.

Ain't never heard of Heka, but it is from Loyetea. Even short easy dinky little one-pointers need a bit of love too.

This time the one who came second gets the gold. Arm Falls it is. Lovely thing, especially up top.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by the falls and its namesake river.
Next one, what lake is this?
