That'd be Cradle Cirque at a wonderful time of year, from (near the) top of the track to Scott Kilvert. Barn very shy that day.

Thanks Tortoise. I've admired it/them? from other vantage points around there but took some research to guess your location.

OK we all know what I'm looking at, and I was on the Face Track a couple of hours later, but where am I here? Closest wins.

Right idea eggs, but I passed that spot somewhat earlier.

I could imagine it might be up near the main carpark at the visitor centre - or the various facilities and buildings nearby - but I did not notice a view like that from my time there.

Not Wombat pool, eggs previous guess was closer.

Getting colder. You were on the right path and closer before. I was on possibly the only high point with that view around here. Not far from a named location, well technically I'm probably on it.

Fairly close by, but no. Eggs' first guess had my route correct, just not the location on it.

From the road I would not have thought that view would be so full of trees.

Somewhat past the top from memory. A surprising walk, didn't expect to get that view at all. Hence stopped to photograph it (some zoom in it).

The Where's Wally looks like a tent. I can't offer a location though.

Not a tent - and you could see Massif from those tops in view.
