GAME: Where am I?

[Mickeymoo]

Yes was rethinking that after looking at the LIST a little closer! Back to have a closer look

[eggs]

Have now consulted the List - and given that there is nothing really high just NE of the Arm River road,
I would suggest this is a telephoto from Clumner Bluff.

[walkinTas]

Clumner Bluff is getting closer, but not quite there.

[walkinTas]

I'll settle for the name of the road if you can't name the hill.

[eggs]

Well there are no roads with elevation near Clumner Bluff.
The photo seems to indicate it was from about the same height as Pillinger (1200m)
That would place you on the Lake MacKenzie road - there are some unnamed hills south of the road near the Devil's Gullett lookout.
My memory of that view was of very thick dark clouds over the entire overland track area.

[walkinTas]

That's close enough. On the Lake Mackenzie Rd at the lookout just before Fisher Rd.

[eggs]

Thanks - I was just figuring that I had to be NW from that point I described to get the angles right.

Time for an easy one again

[walkinTas]

Is it embarrassing to say I don't recognise those bumpy bits? ...Should I be ashamed?

The short answer - Yes!

[stu]

I'll come back into the game for a guess-
that's Sarah Jane in the background & Lake Judd below,
so must be from the edge of the Eliza Plateau somewhere?

[Phil]

Beat me to it.......I thought that finally I might be able to get an answer but was beaten to it! Was definitely also thinking from Mt Eliza.

[eggs]

welcome back stubowling

Yes - I was only after the cliffs below Mt Eliza. Happens to be the first section of the plateau just directly down from Eliza, but you do have to walk down about 500m to get to the edge.
There is a second section of alpine gardens further towards Anne - divided by the ridge whose cliffs show in the left side of this photo.

But your up now stubowling

[stu]

Thanks eggs, good to be back
This one should also be fairly easy:

[kramster]

Looks like a lovely clear day on top of Mt Eros... looking across at Du Cane Range, Mt Geryon and The Acropolis

[tasadam]

Is it embarrassing to say I don't recognise those bumpy bits? ...Should I be ashamed?

The short answer - Yes!

The shorter answer, hadn't had my second cup of coffee...

[stu]

Over to you kramster, Eros it is.

[kramster]

Sorry to keep you all waiting (because I know some of you have been sitting there refreshing this page for the past couple of hours)

Anyway... to the business at hand... Where am I?

[walkinTas]

I suspect that log is over the Mersey River, but I can't confirm that for an hour or more, so maybe someone else can check it out. Am I warm?

[eggs]

Out of interest - I make this the 100th "where am I" posted to date.
Back to river crossings again (and a log crossing at that!) are we??

I presume walkinTas is referring to the log crossing over the Mersey when walking the Never Never above Hartnett Falls?
Never been there - so I wouldn't know

I will request some more information before I can either confirm or deny that guess walkintas...

[kramster]

Ok Eggs (I missed your edit in refreshing)... walkintas was sooo close *fingers pinched together*
The log in question is in the Never-Never, en-route to Hartnett Falls...
Eggs... you're it

[eggs]

I cannot accept this - I was only querying where walkinTas had in mind.
Like I said, if it was the Mersey River, that is the only spot I was aware of where the river would still be that small.

Let walkinTas have this one.

[walkinTas]

I'm on my way out to dinner and I don't have a picture prepared - hence the deliberate half guess. So first to post a picture gets this one.

[Swifty]

I'll take it if no-one else beats me to it...

[tasadam]

I reckon you must be down near Zeehan or Rosebery where the mines are because
1. It's an old photo, scanned from film or slide, so I assume taken some time ago,
2. All that mining that goes on down there, I for one don't recognise the lumpy bit so perhaps it got dug up and shipped out / melted down before my time here

In other words, I have no idea eye deer.

[north-north-west]

Great photo scavenger
Did you come up from the campground and do a short walk?

If you are worried about it hanging around - can I suggest Seagers Lookout in the Mt Field Nat Park?
You can see the Snowy Range and Mt Anne in the distance.

En route for the circuit over Field East and back down to the car park via Lake Nicholls and the old mule track. Good pick up.
It is actually from the highest rocks, IIRC, or else the front of the flattish area around them. Still a bit of ice and snow around from the blizzard that hounded me off Field West.

[Swifty]

wow tasadam, you've made me look at the picture in a whole new light
the lumpy bit is perfectly natural and, as far as I know, still sitting there
it's another '80's slide of mine that went too far - but unlike my other posts, this is nowhere near the Denisons or Curly...

[eggs]

swifty - your photos have been a challenge - but this is a notch further up

we are looking at an sub-alpine area - pineapple grass and what looks like an extensive field of low scoparia - but flanked by gum trees.
The main "clue" is a dome shaped rock - but the colour in the "slide" is not giving much away about rock type.
And it is probably a wooded rear - as a blowup seems to show a tree line all around the edge.
Oh - and it has had a bush fire go through. I am thinking central plateau?

But that's it - anyone else got a clue?

[Swifty]

OK eggs, some hints:
elevation at where I am: around 1000m
vegetation is alpine heath with pineapple grass, no scoparia
rock type is Jurassic dolerite.
good luck!

[north-north-west]

rock type is Jurassic dolerite.

Well, that's helpful.

[eggs]

Are you in the Southern Pictons looking up at Mt Chapman?
