Yes correct eggs, an interesting walk that doesn't seem to get a lot of visitation.

Looking at the eastern end of Little Horn, but not sure where from. Maybe somewhere near Artillery Knob?

Close. The spot is named for a series of tarns...

Looks like Eldon Bluff and Crag from roughly northish. Inglis, maybe.

Yes and yes, and very roughly north-ish-ish, as opposed to south-ish-ish. Not Inglis.

Disaster pimple is almost hidden by the Crag, which makes me think maybe more NW. Murchison?

The little lump on the ridge leading out to Eldon Bluff, which is where I stuffed the knee. And thanks.

Ah. That explains why I don't remember it and you do. :(

I'm looking at an Abel, or at least part of one. From somewhere that is very much not mountainous.

You're probably on a plain. Maybe this winter I can learn some Tasmanian geology. I only remember bits and pieces.

Probably not west coast. Or east coast.

Definitely not at all coastal. But not a plain either. I think this is a view you would get doing the book route to the Abel in question. I think ... because it's not the way I did it.

It's dolerite, so that eliminates a few. Are you looking at Parson and Clark?

The Abel is named after a walker.

230 views. Hmm. I've started googling Abels. Apparently Hyperion = 'he who walks on high'. I'll try that.

For once, I wasn't being cryptic. It is, literally, named after a bushwalker, skier and decent bloke (except for the little matter of his employment). But that's just the peak in view. The place I am ... not sure where the name comes from. It certainly isn't a good old Anglo name. Although the thing of which it is part - that's Anglo alright.
