I am, IDP. That should narrow it down nicely for the name of the lake.

Thanks Reubs. That is a beautiful place indeed

Next, where am I camping here (I accept that there isn't a great deal of landmarks to go off, but to the east there is a spectacular view)?

Not quite that remote or difficult Last.

I’m only at about 550m ASL and the view that I mentioned to the east is of the coast.

Thank you :)
Mount Cripps is a lovely mountain.
The photo of the fire is interesting. I was planning on visiting Reynolds Falls recently but the fire stopped that ;)
The next one isn't too far away..
