Hmmm - never been there, but is it on the Eldons? That looks like the tail end of a reservoir in the midddle-ground of the pic, and it's not far from lots of more familiar looking places,

cheers

Looks like you are on the way to the top of Mt Murchison, three quarters of the way or so (before you go past that exposed bit from where you can first see the summit), looking back SE over the top of Lake Murchison in the foreground to Mt Ossa and peaks of the centre part of the NP, with the Eldons poking into sight on the right.

Well done Swifty. Probably more exact than I could have estimated. Your go.

You should compare the last photo with the bottom one on this post - taken from the top of Murcho :wink:

PS - I think the one you see as 'Ossa' is Mt Olympus - Byron & Cuvier just to its right and Gould/Guardians on the left hand side

Well, no sign of Swifty in well over 24 hours so i'll toss an easy one up so the game doesn't sit idle for too long...

The Acropolis from Lake Elysia?

Too easy robl

Sunrise on a magical bluebird day at Lake Elysia.
Over to you...

by **robl** » Thu 03 Dec, 2009 10:34 am

This next pic is of old temple foundations, but it is not on The Acropolis.

by **whynotwalk** » Thu 03 Dec, 2009 10:47 am

That looks like some of the stone trackwork on Moonlight Ridge,

cheers

I was surprised to see how my pic corresponded to an earlier pic in "the game". :-)

I am away for a few days. Play on.

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 9:18 am

I'll take that as a yes from robl.

Here's one that shouldn't be too hard,

cheers

Hi Peter,

Reminds me of Newdegate Pass, but something doesn't feel right

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 9:31 am

Very close sbs. As a quick game is a good game, I'll give it to you.

It's just past Newdegate Pass, on the Rodway Range between the Watcher and K Col. Your go,

cheers

Peter

by **stepbystep** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 9:50 am

Ha, I knew something wasn't quite right, very Mt Field-ish, I came from K-Col to Newdegate Pass when I went through there.
The Watcher is a great spot for lunch.
This shot is taken from a track half way up a summit.

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 10:11 am

Hmmmm...looks like Schnells in the background (with rare covering of snow?).
Must place you on the way up Eliza, below high camp hut somewhere?

by **stepbystep** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 10:34 am

Yessir,
Anne's summit was under blizzard conditions, without a breath of wind at High Camp Hut, really strange but AWESOME!
Your go

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 11:45 am

Always seems strange to see snow on Schnells & the Arthurs, they just don't seem high enough;
that's the SW for you tho, it's a totally different climate zone.
This next one i'm not on a summit...

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 12:17 pm

Hi Stu - is that Gould Plateau and Mt Gould?

cheers

Peter

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 12:51 pm

Right National Park Peter, wrong area...

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 12:53 pm

one more go before lunch ... given there's an obvious plateau/saddle, is it in the Thetis/Paddys Nut area?

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 12:59 pm

Now you're gettin a little closer to the right area;
but not Thetis or Paddys (tho we went over them to get where I am - BIG clue).

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:10 pm

Aha! Mt Achilles?

by **flyfisher** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:11 pm

Archillies from Leonard tarn

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:13 pm

Very close now, but not Achilles...

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:15 pm

Which leaves Perrins Bluff!! I was there in the 1980s, but memory fades!

cheers

Peter

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:18 pm

Now we've reached our destination

Perrins Bluff as seen from the west (in the saddle below Achilles);
we took these open connecting ridges to Pelion West from Leonards tarn, a fantastic area

Over to you Peter...

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:24 pm

Thanks Stu - I'm planning a trip back to that fantastic area in Feb. As it happens I was looking at the area on Google Earth yesterday. So I shouldn't have taken so long!

Next one is a relaxing Friday arvo' type of shot. Where am I resting?

cheers

Peter

Looking like Oakleigh to me, but not the true summit which is in the distance
(the little valley which you cross on the top is in the foreground).

by **whynotwalk** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:50 pm

Spot on, Stu! Oakleigh "faux summit" it is.

When we were camped at Thetis Saddle many years before, we had a memorable view of sunset painting Oakleigh's "organ pipes" (where I'm reclining in this pic) every warm colour of the spectrum. That whole Pelion area feels like the heart of the Reserve to me.

Back to you,

cheers

Peter

by **stu** » Fri 04 Dec, 2009 1:53 pm

Cheers Peter - wish I was in that position right now instead of at work;
motivation tends to drop about this time of the week.
Another easy one to keep things flowing...
