not quite - too far north on both counts. I don't think I'm giving too much away by saying there's a distinctive SW feel to the place

by **stu** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 3:53 pm

OK, i'm gonna lend some assistance, but will let others pinpoint scrub masters exact location.
I can tell it's on the Frankland Range...

by **tastrax** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 4:12 pm

Never been there but how about near the Citadel?

If not, I assume further west?

by **scrub master** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 4:19 pm

near enough. It's just where the track goes down to Citadel shelf. The big pointy bit on the horizon is Frankland Pk

by **tastrax** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 4:48 pm

Great stuff - I am getting the hang of this!

Another SW one - which campsite am I near? I didn't walk here...you can see my mode of transport if you look carefully.. :oops:

by **whynotwalk** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 5:01 pm

Nice one Phil - I can see the helicopter (you cheat! :lol:

) ... and is that Mt Anne in the background? If so, what about Western Arthurs, near High Moor?

I haven't been in the Western Arthurs since the mid 1980s, so memory is hazy!

cheers

I'll second Peter's guess of High Moor on the Western Arthurs (haven't actually been that far in, but vaguely remember seeing a mate's photo from that area)
Nice ride tastrax

by **tastrax** » Thu 03 Sep, 2009 5:52 pm

You are both correct - High Moor in the Arthurs.

For those interested, the old eroded campsite and the surrounding tracks are being used for trials of rehabilitation using native species, both from locally collected seed that was grown on in Hobart and the transplanting of local plants. Our trackworkers wanted to know if it was worth their while using local plants, that they removed in the course of trackwork, for rehabilitation in eroded areas. The site has been visited every couple of years to see the (slow) results of their work.

another couple of shots here...

That used to be the norm, especially late autumn and winter.
Thanks to FT the sky is never clear enough now.

Looks like kramster and whynotwalk have headed bush... :lol:

Is there someone else out there that would like a turn?

Ha... If only!... I mealy nodded in agreement to Peter's guess... so the winnings are all his (or another lucky punter who gets their pic up before I can find one)

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 10:21 am

I'm back - pic coming shortly!

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 10:26 am

sorry for the delay - work happens!

Okay - where am I this time?

cheers

Peter

by **tastrax** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 10:44 am

I'm thinking Bruny Island somewhere?

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 10:46 am

You're on the right island, Phil. But can you be a little more specific?

by **tastrax** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 12:27 pm

Nope! I will keep thinking.

by **eggs** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 12:33 pm

With all the snow in the distance you are probably looking into the Southern Ranges (from La Peruse up)
And it looks like a reasonable anount of open water before hitting a cove with a near point jutting out.
That probably places you on the Labillardiere Peninsula - and you would need to be looking west - so perhaps the Pineapple Rocks track?
I must admit, I had never heard of this place, but I did notice the name of the peninsula come up in the "next 3 walks" post.

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 1:27 pm

near enough eggs - a good deduction. It's taken on the Luggaboine Track, which is indeed on the Labillardiere Peninsula. And that is the Southern Ranges, incl Mt La Perouse, across the water.

Over to eggs

cheers

Ok - this might be a little harder - though it is from a popular spot.

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 2:38 pm

Looks a little like Tarn Shelf, from somewhere up on the Rodway Range

by **eggs** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 2:51 pm

Hmm - that answer has thrown me.
The mere mention of Tarn Shelf had me going and then you added from the Rodway Range??
Because this gives the game away - I will let you have it.

But the photo is actually from about the middle of the Tarn Shelf itself - looking out over a ridge that buts onto it - the peak at the end is called Mt Bridges - and Mt Field East rises behind on the horizon.

So over to you kramster

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 3:03 pm

Thanks eggs
My next pic was going to be from the same neck of the woods, but suppose I'd best keep that one for another rainy day...
<scrambles to find another pic... must admit, I'm finding it harder to get something new>

How about this one (lets hope it lasts longer than my last 1 minute wonder)

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 4:39 pm

Well now im back online at home i was as well join in.
This could be almost any river surely, but i'll start with a blind guess,

Lady Barron?

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 4:43 pm

Sorry - Not Lady Baron Falls... (was worth a blind guess however)
blink and try again
More North-Eastish

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 4:46 pm

Rocks look fairly smooth, must get a bit of flow

Nile? Up near Speke

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 4:57 pm

Not the Nile... guess again
Its a popular place for family style walks (and no, its not the Gorge either)

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 5:05 pm

Hmmm Im not so familiar with the rivers up north.

We talking central north or coastal north?

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 5:19 pm

Central

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 5:27 pm

Well like I said, it's kinda out of my knowledge area..... im sure theres someone out there who likes doing river walks???

Anyone???

by **kramster** » Fri 04 Sep, 2009 5:34 pm

I'm about to wander off... so have handed the proxy-gurnsey over to eggs.
If no-one gets it in 24 hrs (so by Saturday evening), feel free to continue on with another photo.
Cheers
Kramster
