He did well with the last fallen tree. Assuming I've got the right place, I can't see that tree on Google's satellite image. I thought it would have been obvious, but the satellite picture doesn't seem to show it at all.

I had a look at google earth.
The rock at the other end of the body of water shows up as well as the feature behind me, but the tree doesn't.

Furmage? Was he/she a skier?

After a search, no, not Lake Furmage. Wrong area.

Are there pandani on the central plateau?

A nice shot of the Southern Reserve, from Little Hugel I think?

That skyline looks a lot like Mt Rufus - so are you are on the Mt Rufus track?

You should take my answer to mean on the up track heading directly for Mt Rufus.
I seem to remember it heading up towards the visible high point before hitting a flatter section which turns and crosses to the ridgeline on the left and then follows that ridge edge heading up to the top that you can see before heading along the long ridge beyond that point that leads to the true top.

I must admit that with the snow and burnt out trees, it may be possible you are on the return leg coming past Shadow Lake etc. but that was not my suggestion.

Well if that's what you had thought then you are exactly right eggs :wink:

This photo is taken close to the intersection of the Rufus Track that crosses over to Shadow Lake.

Over to you :D

Yes flyfisher

Just off the track to Irenabyss from Frenchman's Cap - as it descends the back of the Lions Head looking over Lake Nancy.
Leech Central is the Mary Creek Plains in front of a sunlit Flat Bluff in the distance.

What no guesses? Looks like Wellington in the background with Mt Hull and Goat HIlls to the left, then Dromedary a bit closer. So I would say Platform Peak? However there is another mountain you visited the other day that is in the same area, it could well be that instead, but I will stick with PP for now.

I'd say you are spot on Amanda with PP, Tanina Bluff is quite a bit further north & does not have such a direct view of Dromedary.
