GAME: Where am I?

[bushrunner]

If I am not mistaken, Quamby Bluff is hiding behind the large rock and the trig point.

[walkinTas]

You could be right. Its definitely out there somewhere.

[north-north-west]

Come on Scavenger, say " just north of Narcissus river crossing on the OLT".

Roger

Sorry. I went to bed after working out where it was - rain in Cardiff put an end to cricket for the night. Didn't seem fair to put up a shot and then disappear for another 18 hours or so.

That was embarrassing, anyway, 'cause I have an identical set of shots from my first trip up the Overland. Should have gotten in straight away, but - believe it or not - I didn't see the bridge at first. *cringe*

[north-north-west]

Time we had another easy one or two. This is a fantastic view. If you haven't been there then you really should go.

I'm almost positive that's the trig marker on Roland. It was a wee bit foggy when I hit the summit so I don't have a shot of the views to match that one, but I do have one that shows the marker, and the pink rocks and lines of concrete look identical.

ps: Nice kilt.

[walkinTas]

One of Corvus's mob, and yes he is wearing a kilt.

You are right Scavenger. Your go.

[north-north-west]

Err ummm OK, I'll see what I can dig out.
Something nice and easy (again):

Mt Snowy from Hartz summit.

Aha, been there and recognise it . Summit of Hartz Peak looking across at Mt Snowy, with Emily Tarn below. I was a bit disappointed when we went up there; had wanted to walk across to Snowy but the clag rolled in so we descended.

[north-north-west]

Ahhh, I always get Hartz the other way around - it starts all damp and cloudy but then clears back. Ten minutes later you could see Precipitous and Federation.

OK, go for it, laddy.

[johnw]

Should be easy I think.

Lake Oenone from Olympus

[johnw]

Lake Oenone from Olympus

Maybe not as easy as I thought. Sorry Norts. Much, much further north.

[flyfisher]

Named after an Irishman?

ff

[eggs]

norts- I haven't been to Lake Oenone, but I hope there is not such an obvious track along its edge

I reckon this is from the Face Track just before/after the branch off to Lake Wilks.
That rock face is what I led my young family down in a jet stream of horizontal rain.

[norts]

I see it now.
Not realy that close when I look again. The degraded area looks a bit like the camping area around Oenone.

[north-north-west]

Lake Wilks. I love that track.

(edit: Ooooops, already done. That's what comes of trying to follow this and the cricket at the same time. Blame the Poms for losing wickets so regularly. )

[johnw]

Lake Wilks. I love that track.

Your'e almost there Scavenger. Lake Wilks is the feature I'm looking at, but what track am I standing on? (hope I'm not being too pedantic)

I missed the last few posts typing the previous reply . It is from the Face Track although I can't recall if it was before or after the branch.
Eggs has it .

Could be a good night doing both.

Johnw, you are on the Hanson Peak track.

Close wT but Eggs is correct with Face Track.

[north-north-west]

I'm fairly certain it's after the branch. I don't think you can see that much of the lake and ridge from the main track.

[eggs]

The cricket must be exciting - 'carn the Aussies

The before/after was depending on which way you were going. It will be on the east of the junction towards Hanson side.

I should keep it easy - this should be, but ??
It is also from a slide (hence lesser quality) from 23 years ago

[walkinTas]

I was getting worried eggs, I thought the cricket might be over before we got the next picture.

Are you on Ossa?

[eggs]

No - my wife and I were not on Ossa

[walkinTas]

Cradle Mountain Summit?

[north-north-west]

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!
I hate this. I remember that little lump off the side, the crack's unforgettable - but I must have been up there longer ago than eggs, 'cause I can't put a name to it.

[eggs]

Not at Cradle - but that crack is quite a walkers obstacle - maybe one day I will get to negotiate it.

[north-north-west]

The most famous 'walker's obstacle' is, of course, The Notch . . . in which case my memory is playing tricks 'cause I've never seen it from that angle . . .

[eggs]

I was not on a track

[north-north-west]

Anyway, you're somewhere near Anne. You probably want a more precise answer than that, though.

[eggs]

Ahh shucks - I get into trouble if I ask too much - so that will do.

This is from the highest point before Anne. It sits above Frances Bluff

So over to you scavenger

[north-north-west]

Near - well, above - Frances Bluff?

edit: AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the time it takes to dig out the map and check the angle, you do that to me!

I'll accept it, anyway. Thanks.
