OK _ I think its not quite 450 yet (walkinTas??) - so I even got that wrong.

And we have crossed over - Robl has already responded

This one is very touristy:

Well, obviously Strahan, but more specifically Risby Cove and I am assuming Botanical Creek, along which Hogarth Falls Track runs?

Who knows?
But Regatta Point is close.
But look - stepbystep really wants to get this one.
You guys had a really good joust today

It is Strahan - near the Hogarth Falls track start
So I had better give it to stepbystep. Sorry ILLUVSWTAS :(

woohoo! I like it a lot, stayed at Risby Cove when I took my Mum around Tassie, it's pretty good and they have this cool live webcam you can pan/tilt.
Good for checking weather in Strahan.
Speaking of weather...here's an easy one too, the snow might fool 1 or 2.

whynotwalk, I agree.
But I guess either MacKenzie to Johnston or Walker to Newdegate?

Beautiful day that day.

hehe.. :D ..that photo brings back some memories. I walked over a frozen Newdegate in winter of 1978. Me and three others. Towards the middle of the lake, I turned and looked behind to see water seeping up in my footprints :shock: Not a good look. The young and foolish (as I then was) are also lucky :roll: so I survived that moment. Gives me nightmares to this very day :wink:

HaHa...it's pretty tempting to charge across isn't it. I'm usually on my own so wouldn't risk it.
That day I'm sure you could have skated over them easily. Here's the wider shot :D

Hmmm, this shot reminds me of Strahan; maybe taken from the mouth of Botanical Creek near the start of the Hogarth Falls track?

Yes phil - spot on - but I suspect you returned to the previous page - and so did not see that the game had moved on :wink:

With this jumble of recent comments someone may need to tell whynotwalk he can put up the next entry

Okay - paying attention again. Here's an easy one. To make it (slightly) harder, please try and name the spot I'm standing as well as the place I'm viewing,

cheers

Need someone with a better memory or a better map :D

OK... Gee that was hard to find something that wasn't too obscure, but not too obvious. Still, if you've been there you'll know it I reckon.

I have a feeling that I have seen a photo of this exact location earlier in the game :wink: (or at least on the forum somewhere in the past couple of months!)

Ah! I bet it was ILSWT... the cheeky little so and so. Should I post another then?

Nah, I'll have to remember to dig up some harder ones when I'm at home, assuming I get another shot later.

My first overnighter (I think) was to South Cape Rivulet, and we traversed along the lower section of Coal Bluff on the way out, so the name stuck in my mind!

Yep, St. Pat's Head. I'll need to be more challenging next time!

Cool, the rivulet is a great spot. Beautiful in good weather, AWESOME in foul weather.
One of my favorite day walks, great to watch the surf!
Here's another, not sure if it has been in da game before. :D

This wouldn't be at the end of a long walk along an old abandoned railway line/road, would it?
