Well, it looks like to me like the Frenchman and friends on the left, the Spires in the middle, and Mt Weld on the right! I'll concede on the Spires, but is either one of the others what we're looking at?

Frenchmans and spires are correct. I think the other may be Eldon Peak

Yes - I thought it was Eldon Peak

Yes - K-Col hut is in view - and given that required some skill - I was near the Watcher and letstryagain can go next.

Thankyou eggs. Beautiful spot that.

I don't have many photos, but here's something a bit different.

That is the summit cairn on Snowy South (well, I have a big picture of it on the wall, so ...). Looking West to the Anne Range.

The trig looks a bit like Maurice. The hills behind? Nope.

That looks coastal. Are you somewhere on the Three Capes track?

It is.

No, although it was sort of supposed to be.

Mt Brown?

That's the one.

Thanks Graham. I was reasonably sure, but on my only trip to Projection I didn't walk that far across it.

Yes teak, in extremely blustery conditions. The wind actually face planted me into the ground immediately I arrived on that little plateau.
There is some sort of weird weather phenomenon that happens up there.
