GAME: Where am I?

Mon 16 Nov, 2009 10:01 am

I haven't been to this lake, but I got a fair way towards it before turning back.
I do have a photo of the background ridge with its distinctive pattern of fagus on it. :wink:

Mon 16 Nov, 2009 10:10 am

ILUVSWTAS - can't be, I lost my camera before reaching Belton, so have no photos from there.

eggs is more than likely onto it - this is a lake amongst tarns that is blessed with a lovely spray of Fagus along said ridge. This day was 34 degrees.

Must be Mt Field area if you're referring to my youth SBS...
I guess that's the Rodway Range to the right of photo...
maybe Lake Newdegate?

Mon 16 Nov, 2009 10:50 am

Lake Newdegate it is, this was my first looooong daywalk in Tas, doing the circuit past Twilight Tarn and back to L. Dobson. I remembered your comment re. Twilight Tarn Hut and youthful adventures.
It was a stinker of a day(and a summer), I just remember being amazed at how hot it can get in the mountains.
Over to you Stu

Mon 16 Nov, 2009 11:01 am

At least along the Tarn Shelf there is always the option of a dip on a hot summers day, time permitting of course.
This one probably won't be that hard, I was here recently (ILUVSWTAS, as you were with me on this one, no guesses for you my friend)...

Given stu's clues - interested participants may like to consider:

Hahaha Eggs thats naughty!!

King William 3?

Tue 17 Nov, 2009 6:42 am

You got it robl, looking south from King William III.
Spires, Denison River Valley & Prince of Wales ranges in view.
Over to you...

Are we in the same territory as the last one? It looks a little like Pitt or Milligan (in the King Williams) - but that haze is dang clever at hiding the wider view!

cheers

Not in the King William Range.

Tue 17 Nov, 2009 6:55 pm

Hint time?
I pic from a desirable prominence.

Tue 17 Nov, 2009 10:00 pm

Once again I am bamboozled by the cryptic clues :roll:

I think the photo of a photo (while losing the background) is a pretty good shot of the main mountain.
Probably just needed a few more people interested in guessing rather than a clue.

I presume you are on Precipitous Bluff looking north down its spine.
This is one place right off my planning scale - but it looks really gorgeous.

Tue 17 Nov, 2009 10:38 pm

eggs is correct, again.
PB is desirable for its peak bagging points, eight.
If it it wasn't for the late afternoon light Federation Peak would be seen. (Actually most of my Tassie pics are hazy or foggy.

)

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 3:30 am

Ah so it is! I can see it now it's revealed! Well done Eggs!!

PB is 9 points Robl

A VERY desirable target

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 8:58 am

Come on folks - need some more people guessing..

Try this one - it is a zoom shot
Where am I?

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 9:50 am

Cape Pillar?

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 10:03 am

No - I am not at Cape Pillar (I suspect the photo would be from a higher elevation if I was

)
Nor is it a photo of Cape Pillar.
But you are in the right part of the state.

To assist as to where I am - it was at the start of a bushwalk, but the place itself is a non-walking "tourist spot".

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 10:10 am

Looks like taken from Remarkable Cave viewing platform, or there abouts - one of my 'local' surfing haunts.
There was a story that the cliff lines in the distance were used as target practice by the Australian Navy around WW II, not sure about the truth to this tho?

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 10:43 am

Ah of course! the walk into crescent bay! A nice dive location!! I've heard that story myself Stu!
A surfer mate of mine got slammed into the cave there while surfing once in big swell!

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 10:44 am

Right you are Stu

We were off to Mt Brown - but had a quick look at Remarkable Cave.
Realised the stench at the cave entrance was a seal carcase just under the walkway.

This is the view across to Cape Raoul.

This guy's blog agrees about the target practise http://tasbushblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/cape-raoul-10th-september-2009.html
Hunting the web though does not pull up a lot of convincing info - it all appears 3rd hand.
One old photo site suggests shell fragments can still be found there.

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 10:51 am

I guess the story changed by the time it got to me - World War I & the British Navy?
Interesting tho, maybe we can make a compensation claim to the British Govt.?

This one should be quite easy hopefully to keep things rolling.
This is one of my all time favourite summits -great walking /scrambling, great views, great atmosphere

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 12:51 pm

The Guardians from top of Gould. Too easy Stu!

PS: Yes, it is a GREAT summit.

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 12:59 pm

Spot on mate.
Look forward to getting back to this one some time, maybe over summer. Perhaps another esky trip to Narcissus?
Over to you Oll (you're first go at the game?).

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 1:51 pm

Yep, first go. Stu, you're not allowed to answer this one, but I suspect the shape of the Mtn will be a dead giveaway...

PS: Not sure I'm enough of a masochist to go back to Gould. Had perfect conditions the first time, wouldn't want to spoil it!

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 6:41 pm

I reckon you are looking N to Pelion W?

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 7:21 pm

ollster will be after the name of this very special lake -oops should be "tarn"

Wed 18 Nov, 2009 8:40 pm

If it's Leonards Tarn, I have to go there.
