I've yet to visit them but I think it's Parsons Falls.

Yes it is. I will warn you that they have become very busy lately after being featured on social media. There were about 35 cars at the carparks visiting them today.

They look pretty accessible, but unfortunately I don't think anywhere is immune from Insta-whatever anymore.

Everyone must have taken a long weekend and gone walking.
To help narrow it down we're in the southern half of the state.

A bit too non-descript for a northwesterner. Stab in the dark. Snowy South (though I'm sure there should be more vegetation)?

You're more or less on the right latitude Tortoise but this relatively easy Abel is closer to civilisation.

Neither. I did visit Collins Cap later in the day. I've been to Collins Bonnet previously and all 3 can be done in a day but I was short in time for that.
I had CB in sight much of the time. I'm somewhere on the earlier part of this climb, possibly not the usual angle this lump is photographed.
An uncropped wider shot may make it more obvious.

I'm certain that's Collins Bonnet. It matches my pics taken from Collins Cap.
It's not Trestle or Marian which leaves 1 more Abel in the range - kunanyi and it's not there.

Oops, I should have checked the time stamps on my photos more closely
.You are correct Rick, on my way to Trestle. Assumed I was already on it and looking up.
I'm probably near the junction with the East West Trail, maybe just on it.
I'll blame Covid. Coming back down to re-acquaint myself has been problematic

hehe, I'm very familiar with the area, it's the mountain that started it all for me - the first one I went up!
Hopefully you make it back down here soon!

Well the border is back open for me (just) so I'm very tempted.
Apologies Grunter, yes you were the first correct answer.

Thanks RicktheHuman. Anyone can go. My phone photo file size is too big to upload.

Is that Dead Island? If correct you could be on or near the South Wellington Track, one of few sections I've yet to do up there.
