GAME: Where am I?

[eggs]

Not Mt Murchison - swifty obviously knows where it was.

As suspected, we are entering repeat country where shots are taken from similar spots to previous entries.
This place is a more regularly visited spot in the area.

[Of course we could see if bushmaster would put up some more remote shots. ]

[Son of a Beach]

But because it has shifted from the gallery - to the games section - it is now no longer visible to visitors??!
The game may have actually been a real interest item to a visitor to the site and may have got them to join.

Yes, I agree it is a pity it is not visible to casual visitors.

This was certainly never the intention, and it has now been fixed. Visitors now have read access to the Games/Competition forum.

shots like that make me wonder. that cirque lake and the valley below were once filled with glacial ice, i often wonder how far up the sides of the U shaped valley the ice actually came. half way? quarter way? (guess you could climb the walls and look for striae, might tell you). We'll just have to wait for the next ice age to find out...

I'd guess it's a tele-photo shot looking south from the Eliza Plateau?;
Schnells Ridge in foreground, Eastern Arthurs (incl. Federation Peak) in background.

[eggs]

I think it was the view from Mt Eliza
- but we wandered all over that end of the plateau (partly to get out of the gale)
So it may have been further along.
The Eliza plateau is correct - your turn stubowling

[stu]

Hope this one is easy to get the game rolling along again, seems to have been slow of late...
This one obviously wasn't taken this year as there has been little snow about the highlands;
damn La Nina (I think we are in a La Nina at the moment?, ie. high precipitation, easterly fronts).
Anyway, where am I...

[kramster]

R is for Rufus
S is for Shadow Lake
F is for the name of the lake in the foreground, which I seem to have forgotten...
I'd say you're on top of Little Hugel (and you got a darn better view than we did from the top too!)

[stu]

Spot on Kramster; you'll have to back some day for the magnificent views.
Unfortunately it's a cross we all have to bear from time to time (the lack of views that is).
Over to you...

[kramster]

Thanks Stu

Thought I'd pull one from the sunset collection (one of the most memorable in my book)... lets see how long it lasts...

[tas-man]

I'll take a quick stab at this being along the South Coast, and possibly taken from the Suprise Bay campsite or close by with Maatsuyker Island in the distance.

Only on an island like Tassie can you see the sun set on the 'south' coast. Amazingly disorientating place with all the inlets/islands/bays etc especially for a simple boy from WA
P.S. nice pic kramster
P.P.S. no idea, but would like to go there

[kramster]

Surprise Bay Campsite it is - Well done Ian.
Its a beaut campsite. When doing South Coast a couple of years back, we did a double-day from Deadmans Bay to Surprise Bay (so skipped the stop-over at New River Lagoon), this allowed us a rest day at Surprise Bay... During that day there was great debate about what the surprise at Surprise bay actually was - one of our party was pretty convinced that the surprise was that there was actually no real surprise (which he may have been right).

Not a bad place for celebrating New Years Eve...and our first wedding anniversary (shared with a bunch of smelly walkers like ourselves of course)

[tas-man]

This place has not yet appeared in the Game, so that's a clue

[wobbly]

Looks like Mts of Jupiter (northern end just past and above the east-west valley) with lakes Eros and Merope in the middle. Was there in April. (I hope I was there).

[tas-man]

You hit it wobbly

Your Turn to place the challenge

[wobbly]

Okay - this may be really easy. If you think you've got it just post a new pic.

[tas-man]

Lake Ayr from the track up Oakleigh?

[eggs]

tasman
- I think you will find that Lake Ayr has a lot of forest around it - even the open section at the eastern end is not that large.
And this lake has a very different shape.

This has a sort of Central Plateau feel to it.

[wobbly]

Eggs is on the right track

[kramster]

Lake Mackenzie then?

[Phil]

Lake Mackenzie then?

I'll second Kramster with Lake Mackenzie being the lake in question, so the photo must be from Parson Track then?

[wobbly]

Phil/Kramster
Nope the lake is not MacKenzie but its not too far away.

By my count this is entry number 249 and today is day 80 of the game, so still just over 3 pictures a day and slowing. I suspect it is getting harder for some regulars to find good photos, but who knows where it will end!

We could always start a mainland version. Though maybe there are too many obscure places and too few people who have been to them . . .

[eggs]

I really can't place the distant peaks.
Particularly that one poking over the back - it makes me think am I looking over the edge to Quamby Bluff?
Or is it the Walls of Jerusalem poking up? or something further away?
So what is that sharp ridge in the distance on the left??

Are we somewhere near the Little Throne?

PS - if they are as hard as this - there appears to be a bit more scope in Tassie
PPS - I notice some of the hard ones are prefaced with "this one is probably really easy"

[wobbly]

Eggs
Its not Little Throne and the none of the Bluffs are Quamby.
There is a bit of zoom in the shot which can extend or shorten aspects of stuff.

[walkinTas]

Is it the new Meander Dam?

[flyfisher]

Would that be mersey crag on the left?
ff

[wobbly]

I don't know the meander dam but no the lake is completely natural. Its actually the spot I'm on that needs to be named but if you find one the other should be obvious- I hope

[wobbly]

(I believe Mersey Crag is visbile but can't find the map at the mo to be 100% certian).
OOPS no Mersey Crag is too far sth

[eggs]

I don't even know which way this is looking?
Your clue about Mersey Bluff being too far south had me thinking you were looking west to south west.
But I will hazard that you are on 40 Lakes Peak with the shot being over Snake Lake and Lake Explorer (compressed by the zoom)
which would make the distant RHS peak Mt Roland and the ridge on the left the Western Bluff.
That makes the view to the North West.???
