Spot on Nick!

We had a thorooughly enjoyable walk up there last month, we only got showered on once and it was as we were crossing Blizzard Plains. There was a lot of water in the area then, I'd hate to imagine (actually I'd love to imagine) how muh water is up there now!

Over to you.........

by **Nick S** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 2:36 pm

i was there about a year ago, it was pretty muddy then, so yeah it would be soaking right now..

ok here is yet another picture with mountains in it

by **Phil** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 2:45 pm

I think it's called Lake Uranus below (Western Arthurs)......now to find the name of the spot where you took the photo

by **tas-man** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 2:51 pm

Mt Pegasus, looking east to Federation.

by **Phil** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 2:51 pm

Mount Pegasus?

by **Phil** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 2:52 pm

ha ha.....missed out by a matter of seconds! :lol:

Great photo Nick! Good view of the track too, I've always found it hard to picture it. Guess I better get fit soon if i plan on doing the full Arthurs traverse this summer

by **Nick S** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 3:04 pm

ahh dilemma!
you're both right though, tas-man looks like you just pipped phil

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 3:05 pm

dee_legg

that view is of the flat part of the track :lol:

By full Arthurs - do you mean East & West?

by **tas-man** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 3:12 pm

OK, then

to keep things moving along, here's another panorama to work out where I am standing.

by **kramster** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 4:03 pm

By the looks of them Islands (which look like the Matsuyker group)... I'm guessing somewhere far South West... maybe on the hills just west of Ketcham Bay?

by **Phil** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 4:04 pm

Never been to the area but a guess.............on the South Coast Track.......possibly overlooking the Cox bite area?

by **dee_legg** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 4:18 pm

Yeah Nick, west to east! It's very much just an idea at the moment, it doesn't exactly coincide with my plans to work all summer and save!

Yes its the Matsuyker group . . . . and Ketchen Bay is in that area :wink:

Not on the South Coast Track, not on any track :wink:

Looking for a name that identifies this "area".

It looks like you are approaching the top of the New Harbour Range
from where you took the photo of the year 2008!

This is a nice photo Tas-man
Did you come up from New Harbour? And which way did you exit?

Got it in one again, eggs :!:

I thought that anyone who remembered my postings on the New Harbour Range last year would make it a "no contest." The high point of the range is just left of centre, and we descended to Cox Bight from east of the hight point on an open ridge eventually meeting up with the South Coast Track not too far before it hits the beach. Wonderful open country to walk in when the weather is kind, but would be a disaster in bad weather due to its exposure and lack of shelter.

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 4:59 pm

I was particularly interested in your photos from that area.
Part of my dreaming about future walks.

I know phil was just pipped recently - would you like to post the next one phil?
Edit - looking back, it appears phil only has access at work - so I will post one more to keep it going

by **DaveNoble** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 6:03 pm

It looks like the Druid Range coming down of Mt Anne, photographed from near the Hut on the way up to the Eliza Plateau

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 6:19 pm

That's right Dave
A great place to watch the setting sun
Over to you

by **DaveNoble** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 6:37 pm

This one was taken from a nice place -

by **walkinTas** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 7:40 pm

I can't make out any of those bumpy bit. I was expecting tasAdam's visual challenged Cervid.

Maybe if I ask a question or two we can eliminate some possibilities.

Is it Western Arthurs?

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 7:44 pm

this is definitely Western Arthurs
I can see Mt Alderbaran & the distinctive tower which is over Haven Lake

by **DaveNoble** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 7:47 pm

Yes - Certainly Western Arthurs - and Eggs is spot on with his observations. Now - where was it taken from? (approximate location OK)

Dave

by **Robbo** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 7:48 pm

Yes, the Western Arthurs I think... looking east from Procyon Peak as a guess?

TR

Edit: change my guess - maybe the other side - from Mt Sirius looking east...

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 8:34 pm

I think Dave is on the other end of the range - on the saddle below the Phoenix on its south eastern side as you are heading off the peak towards the Western Portal. That would make the foreground ridge part of the Phoenix.
A place I would love to camp at - its in the planning/dreaming...

by **DaveNoble** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 8:44 pm

Eggs is correct. It is from a campsite we used part way down the Phoenix - the main saddle between the Phoenix and Centaurus Ridge is more sheltered and has more reliable water - but this spot has much better views.

OK
Would someone else like to post the next one - I notice flyfisher is on tonight and he has missed a few turns where he had won.

an easy one
[Edit by Mod - to put the image here]

by **flyfisher** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 10:23 pm

Is the link working ok.

It's a peak in the mt. Field nat.park

by **eggs** » Wed 01 Jul, 2009 10:51 pm

yes - flyfisher
the link is fine
And I was thinking Eldon Bluff - way off..

I suspect this game has some rather slow patches - and tonight is one of them.
Are you able to watch it tomorrow if someone answers?
