Actually - I know someone else who offers up such cryptic clues in this competition :roll:

Anyway - should be easier, but try for a little precision:

Yes norts - its from the top of the climbing gully between the 2 rock towers.
A grand place - with an unobstructed view over the whole area below.

PS I should add for those who haven't been
The peaks from left to right are Doris - Pelion East - Cathedral (with all its various peaks around the edge) - Castle Crag/Falling Mountain - Massif
with the larger lake being lake McFarlane - with a good smattering of golden fagus around it.
With guest appearances on the skyline of the Walls of Jerusalem and Mt Rogoona

I gotta go out now, whynotwalk is getting very close and I presume he will guess the next beach along Hidden bay in which case he will be spot on!!
SO much nicer down there than along the south coast slog with the hordes of people....
SO to keep it rollong over to you matey!!

Thanks SW Tas .. Totally agree with your assessment. A marvellous place, esp. if the weather is kind.

Okay - a different part of the state this time.

cheers

I think it looks something like the Ben Lomond plateau kinda area... how about Sphinx Bluff or Pavement Bluff?
