Yeah, Slatters would be a good one, see what you can do b/w now & next week. In my tradition you'd be obliged to indulge in a 'beverage' on the summit for the tonne.
Speaking of repeat shots - this one looks like you could paste it directly to the side of your last one from this spot and make a really wide panorama
Although it was from back in June - so that's long enough to come back to it.
I think you are on Mt Canopus looking to the Western Portal and the Crags of Andromeda with a lot of mountains hidden in cloud behind - and if I ever get back to the WA this looks like a top side trip.

For some reason I had this photo marked as being taken from The Phoenix but upon inspection you are absolutely correct eggs, it is from Canopus looking at Centaurus Ridge, West Portal & the Crags of Andromeda...the game has gone so far I am now tricking myself over to you eggs....
Yeh I thought so, checked my photos from the dam and thought MAYBE there was some zoom used.. It was similar enough to have a stab. Hmmm not from a road must be a suspension bridge or airwalk of sorts.......
This is from the restored ABT [rack and pinion] steam railway running between Queenstown and Strahan. If you look carefully on the LHS you will note some reflection marks in the photo from looking through the train window.
It is from the high point looking directly into the King River Gorge. It was a very relaxing way to spend a wet day on the West Coast - the forest is very lush and the train takes you right into it. Incidentally - the King River suffers from pollution due to the heavy metals from the works at Queenstown that transfer into it via the Queen River. The river is substantially improved these days - but is still considered a dead river.
Dropping down the west from PB? That could have been nasty!! I've been over that route both ways and the country around PB is NOT forgiving!! Obviously you didnt get too far before realising your mistake?? I guess if you start going downhill FAST you'd be wondering what was going on......
This was one of my Pindars shots from PB Shows the lovely (much nicer than high camp) little spot on the eastern side of PB I camped ( the bottom photo)
