Neither, still on the wrong ranges, but icefest is closest.

Getting closer. This one doesn't get as much traffic, however.

Okay, I thought Abel’s and went to my Abel’s Book, Volume 2, pages 124/125 and thought that looks a lot like the same sort of country. Stepped Hills? I must get out there before I’m too old.

Still not far enough north, but at least you're on the right side of the river. The peak in view is one of a distinctive pair.

I suppose you could be being tricky and posting from Reeds Peak again but I’ll go for Bonds.

I did actually think about a tricky one from Reeds but, yep, went for the approach to Bonds instead. Nasty summit boulder on that thing.

I’ve been out there a few times. The first was memorable - driving winds, hail and no leg protection!
This one is from my family birthday celebration late last year. Where/what is it. (Not counting the curtsying.)

That was meant to be currawong in my post but it seems auto spell changed it.
This is a roof, you got that right. Some days it would be seen and photographed by hundreds of people.

Is there such a place as Homing Lake? If so this isn’t it.

It's probably Kitchen Hut, although I don't get the pigeon reference.

Kitchen Hut is close. Maybe a place to cook Pigeon Pie.
Here is another picture of the same building that might help.
Anyone can go now.

It’s on Mt Wellington because I can see the tower on the ridge. Is it on Thark Ridge?

Bruny is almost as far away in Tasmania as you can get from here.
