Thankyou dee_legg.
Looking over Lake Tartarus.
Very pretty if there are good sunrises/sets.

Let me guess you're just South of Eddystone Point lighthouse, looking at North Abbotsbury beach on the Bay of Fires?

Fairly confident I got that previous one correct so here we go:

Where am I?


I guess most people should know what we're looking at, but where from could be a bit trickier

Yeah, thats a pretty good guess - could be a little more accurate though. Its actually not ON the Overland track... You can either post the next one or try and narrow it down, up to you...

Nah, its actually the other way. Just on the back of Cradle on the track towards Scott-Kilvert. Close enough though, from that distance it would look very similar anyway. Over to you robl...

Thanks Robl. A wonderful spot! Always taunted as to where to pitch the tent when im up there! the King Billy forest is amazing, the Waterfall besides the first lake is really nice, and the spots in the scrub are quite ok too.....

Tricky one - I'm just gonna have a wild stab. Could it be on the Moonlight ridge track somewhere?

Given your answer I can help thinking my guess was in the wrong hemisphere... My other guess would be somewhere near the Walls...

Haha bite me SBS :p

Come on you know 99.5% of my posts ARE from the SW
And the mountains in view are fairly obvious seen in the right angle.....

Ditto.
In other words, no idea....

Only remotely similar view that comes to what's left of my mind at the moment (red wine) is that when you're on the Arm River track just past the lake with the steel bridge looking out towards Pelion East. But the forest is too thick and the mountains are all wrong.

Thick Forest and Wrong Mountains sounds like SW terrain to me :lol:

Ok as there are a few people playing at the moment, i'll give a clue...

The range in focus could be shared with a place in america thats between South and North
And there are 2 Fields in this shot......

I post, and a reply beats me.
OK, so an obvious mountain in the SW when seen from the right angle.
That would be....
Um............

Can you clue me - which direction are you looking?

Mt Field West on the left (foreground mountains), Mt Field East must be the other one based on your clue. But I don't get the America clue because I cannot think of any coral fern plateau named Panama Canal...
No time to dig a map out & have a look so gotta leave it at that.

Oh bugger you SWTAS, the Vodka and Orange is getting to me so I need a better clue.
I'm assuming you mean MT Field East & West, but I can't see it....and America :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: c'mon......
Okay Tasadam is quicker, he's on the soft stuff :wink:

OK, semi-focused,

has to be from the north, maybe from Brown Mtn or Mt Dawson?

Haha you guys are so drunk....
Mt Field is the big flat one you can see in the distance.... not the obvious range in front with the referance to Sth, america, and North :twisted:

But if it's North of Mount Field, than it's no longer in the South West as he claims...
