DOH! That's what comes of holding a map upside down while interpreting the direction of view :lol:

This one will be easy for anyone that has been here, but otherwise there may be clues you can pick up on

by **eggs** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 2:33 pm

I have not been there, but I imagine its what the view from
Mt Freycinet towards Mt Graham would look like.

by **Taurë-rana** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 3:14 pm

I also would Hazard a guess that it's in the Freycinet National Park, or maybe on Schouten Island. But I don't know where it's taken from or looking at although looking at the map, I think eggs may be right.

Fantastic imagination eggs, and correct answer:!:
Your turn

I am afraid I am travelling so
someone else can put up the next photo

OK, I throw another one into the ring to keep things moving until you can get back to your computer, eggs.

Deans Bluff, Pelion East, but you are not actually on Pillinger. Interesting!

Did anyone else get it? Hazard? Freycinet? :lol:

OK I'm bored...

It appears to me that you would be on the track (route?) that goes up from Lees Paddocks to Pillinger, and judging by the altitude I would say roughly two thirds the way up, but that could be deceptive.
I could be wrong in the altitude - you could already be on the edge of the plateau, WSW of Lake McCoy.
Close enough?

YES tasadam, that's certainly close enough. It was taken from a lookout on the edged of the escarpment south of Lake McCoy and the full panorama can be seen here

I cropped it a little to remove Lees Paddocks which would have given it away immediately! Your Turn now.

by **tasadam** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 7:02 pm

Actually, not close enough.
I had to scour all the photos we had from Pillinger and cross reference them with the topographical maps from TheList.
I was thinking you were standing somewhere in the area of the red circle, as this is where I assume the track from Lees must come up - surrounding areas on the topographical look too steep.
But from there, you would be able to see Cathedral protruding out into the photo (if my map referencing is correct).

So you must be on the high point to the south of Lake McCoy, indicated by the black circle.

Right this time?

Look at the time of those posts... Cross-posting again.
Oh well.
Now I'll go find an image to submit...

by **tas-man** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 7:09 pm

That's OK tasadam, I will enjoy my dessert then and get back to check your next post

by **tasadam** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 7:17 pm

OK. Taken with our little Olympus P&S in 2004 before our SLR's were digital.
Hopefully easy enough to bring some new faces into the game... Though I understand how it is - restraint is difficult :wink:

If I'm not online and you want to get the game moving, I think many will be able to confirm this one.
If in doubt, check the cover of a book called
Xxxixxuxa Tracks - 35 walks in and around the Xxxxxx National Park
Could this be the easiest photo yet?

by **bauera** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 10:46 pm

I can't believe this has sat there for so long with no response, especially with your clue. Can't resist any longer. It's from Waterfall Bluff on the Tasman Peninsula, looking south to Cape Huay.

by **bauera** » Sat 27 Jun, 2009 11:19 pm

At this somewhat latish hour I guess tasadam has gone to beddy bo bos, so at the risk of being smug (I know I am right as I have the book) will post the next photo without his confirmation. Then I think I will do the same and leave the night owls and early risers to go at it.

There are not too many clues here, so you might need to have been there, unless like eggs you have a very fertile imagination.

by **tasadam** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 9:29 am

Not too many clues? I didn't find any...

by **bauera** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 9:57 am

Hmmm, yes, I think it was probably a poor choice of image, not only because of the lack of clues but also because where I am is also what I am looking at. In other words, the same range. Which sort of defeats the aim of the game. However, now its up there, have a go at it. Think south and west.

by **Son of a Beach** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 10:50 am

9th April 2007... I can't cross reference that with any of your posts in the forums. Certainly south west by the rocks and vegetation (and as you said yourself).

Other than that, I haven't any other clues. :-(

by **dee_legg** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 11:07 am

somewhere along the south west cape.

by **bauera** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 12:37 pm

Yep, South West Cape Range it is. Over to you dee.

by **dee_legg** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 3:19 pm

Sorry that I took so long! I know it's hard to maintain composure without your hourly fix... yes Tasadam, I'm talking to you.
I hope this one isn't too hard... but I love the photo so much.

by **walkinTas** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 3:21 pm

My guess is - A River somewhere in Tasmania. I think we'll need a few hints Dee.

by **tasadam** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 3:27 pm

And with that many logs in it, I'll take a stab in the dark at Huon River...
These pics are getting harder.

by **bauera** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 5:25 pm

Looks like the Gordon crossing on the Richea Creek track. You are on the west bank, I think.

by **alex** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 6:01 pm

spot on bauera. (i can say because its me in the pic and dee_legg is taking too long!)
over to you

by **bauera** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 6:17 pm

For this one the name of the track will suffice, although I expect you to also know the name of the mountain which is the subject of the photo.

by **Robbo** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 7:19 pm

Looks like Mount Riveaux from the Huon Track?

TR

by **bauera** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 7:30 pm

Well done Robbo. Your turn.

by **Robbo** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 7:37 pm

What about the name of the lake as the mountain should be easy to get...

by **flyfisher** » Sun 28 Jun, 2009 7:47 pm

Tiger lake perhaps?
