GAME: Where am I?

[Tortoise]

Just a stab in the wilderness.....

Is that the Anne River at the Lake Judd campsite ?

Wow! Impressive.

[Mechanic-AL]

Lake Judd was the last night I spent in the Tassie bush so even though that was back in May it's still kind of fresh in my memory....

Anyone else can go.

Sticking with the theme:

So is the theme tough river shots
or is it shots from bridges now?
Once again - a lovely shot NNW.
The bridge over Pencil Pine Creek was as far as we got before heading back.
Dove Canyon will have to wait for another day.

[north-north-west]

Bridges and watercourses. There must be some more obscure ones around.
The canyon's a good little loop, but to get the best of it you really neeed to follow the old pad down to the Pencil Pine - Dove confluence.

[eggs]

Well here is one from 1986.
Its a youthful me - finding somewhere to cross at a point where a creek crosses a 4WD track.
The creek is unnamed, but comes out of a named valley.
We were headed for an ascent ridge onto the range behind.
Name the range to win the prize.

[north-north-west]

Tyndalls?

[eggs]

Yes. This was coming into the Tyndal Range from the north.

[north-north-west]

Before the Plimsoll dam was constructed, I assume?

I should not have done that ... ok, next up. This should be easy. Name the track and/or the day's target peak.

Yes - no Anthony scheme or bitumen road back then.
The road we were walking is now called the Lake Spicer Track and our ascent ridge was on the west side of Lake Rolleston.

I've looked at the main northern ridge a couple of times. It looks like a fun way to do a loop. But that would be climbing up from the saddle rather than going down to Rolleston.

[eggs]

I had some very old track notes.
I believe it was the recognised access route - it is very open walking.
I suspect the reason for going up that ridge may have been the approach via Saddle Lake / Huntley Lookout for a good view of the Lake Huntley cliffs.
The southern approach would have been via Lake Margaret.

[north-north-west]

clue time: have a look at recent conversations.

[eggs]

Has a west coast feel.
Not sure about a track, but might be heading to Julia Peak?
Are you looking at Moyle Rock on the RHS?

[Last]

NNW seems to have made a break for it....

[north-north-west]

Of course I did. The forecast was good and I was going stir-crazy.

There's no track to Julia Peak, eggs. Never heard of Moyle Rock. I was heading to something on the Peakbaggers' List.
Clue is being repeated: look at a recent conversation.

[eggs]

Good one NNW
That probably means I am looking at Walford Peak and you would be on the same track as I was on - maybe at a small crossing near Lake Rolleston?

[north-north-west]

Voila! Exactly, eggs.
That was fun.

[Tortoise]

I can't believe I got it before you, Eggs, though you were probably just getting us to look it the right area. I thought it's the classic Walford Peak profile from the north ish, but I was going away for the weekend.

[eggs]

Classic it might be - but I turned off before I got that view way back when.
I would not mind exploring through to Spicer one day.

on the main track in the saddle between Mt Campbell and Hanson Peak - Cradle Mt NP

I have the luxury of going down that way quite a lot, but haven't been to Spicer yet. That's on the long list.
Looking at Clumner Bluff in the distance, from somewhere above Lake Hanson?

[eggs]

Yes - this is pretty much on the main track in the saddle between Mt Campbell and Hanson Peak

That was my first thought. I really should take photos in my back yard to refer to.
Next one:

I hate looking at a photo and knowing that I know that ridge but being unable to identiify it.

[Last]

Pindars?

[Tortoise]

Oops. I missed the posts over the page. You've got it, Last. Sidling the northwest side of Pindars.

Thanks Torty, next

Maybe you are on Hill 3 with Hill 4 on the left and Maxwell Ridge on the right?

wrong end of the state
