Bushwalk Australia

next

2 bodies of water in view - one is the sea.

are you on Mount Jukes?

Yes - this is the Mt Jukes ridgeline.

Thanks.
Where was I?

On the way up Pelion West just above the tree line?

Correct. Your turn.

Thank you, where was I in this photo with quite a bit of zoom?

Mt Kate?

Black Bluff

Black Bluff is correct over to you Eggs.

I believe that view goes right over the top of Mt Kate

Next

Cape Raoul Track, past the lagoon, looking back at Mt Raoul?

That is correct

Them thar cliffs are disitinctive enough for even me to recognise.

What was I doing on this memorable occasion?

On the slopes of The Minotaur on the way to the Guardians? Looking at Mt Gould.

I was actually on the way back, but otherwise you're spot on.

I camped in that saddle a few years ago - not much water there in summer haha.

Next one.

Might have the wrong side of the island but it reminds me of Peron Dunes.

That's probably because it is the Peron Dunes!

Thanks, next:

The weir, the casurinas and willows, along with some agricultural land (and is that houses at top-left?) remind me of the South Esk.

Comparing with the maps, it looks like a good fit for the weir near the old hydro intake for the old Duck Reach Power Station.

Which would place you at one of the lookout spots near the end of Duck Reach Road, a bit past the Hoohoo Hut.

(I don't think I've ever been to those lookout spots, myself, despite having lived nearby most of my life, and having had BBQs at the Hoohoo Hut many times.)

Pretty much spot on Nik. This was from nearly 20 years ago, we did a circuit up the gorge/South Esk past the dam via Duck Reach, Hoo Hoo Hut et al and back via Reedy and Snake gullies.
Not traditional bushwalking territory, more likely favoured by locals for after work exercise etc. On one of our several stays in Lonnie over the years.

Thanks John. It is a nice area to have so close to the city.

Next...

For some reason I want to say looking at Rufus. But for some other reason I'm not so sure

You're on the right track... it is looking at Rufus. Should be fairly easy to figure out roughly where I was to get this view of Rufus a couple of weeks ago.

Let's say Shadow Lake track

Yes, that's it, of course. We were on our way to climb Little Hugel and then camped at Shadow Lake.

(Sorry for the late reply!)

Always an enjoyable spot.

Where was the tent recently when I lazily snapped this pic from the door?

Lake Lucy Long?
