I think eggs is more correct with mountains seen, but I was faster in naming High Moor.:)

I think this might be the view over Lake Belcher looking up towards K-Col

Robl, It is a great view of a lake deeply embedded into the side of the mountain.

This is an old slide where I really like the colour brought out by the late afternoon sun.

Yep - spot on. Edit - Except you might have meant "eastish"
A magical place - where the mat of vegetation in the foreground is floating over the lake.

Peninsula would have been my guess too - maybe safety Cove looking across to Briggs Point?

Not South Tassie or Tasman Peninsula.
Hints:
There are campsites, hut and toilet nearby. (100 metres)

I nearly posted a similar picture myself - Adjacent to Encampment Cove camping area on Maria Island. The land jutting out is part of an old jetty that was there many years ago.

Looks more like Lake Hartz to me.
Probably from part way down the "track" to the lake.
Now there is a laugh.
The old map I had did not have a track to the top of Hartz Peak - but showed the path to the Lake.
But while the track to the top is great - this track down is very overgrown - probably unmaintained.
My little 10 year old was having a struggle with the scoparia as we worked our way down. I was pressing it back for her to get past.

Your doing well to be able to budge the stuff at all.

Yes of course, Hartz. Used to be a popular campspot aparantly. Before the road I guess. Spent a night at Weld earlier this year, looks very much like the un-named lake near the summit. Same grey view I remember seeing too

eggs wins. The pic is from just west of the saddle and off the track to the summit.
I didn't have time to get to the top but I had to see the lake.

Good to see fellow night owls up. I can see the acropolis in the distance and Mt Massiff on the left. Are you looking through Big Gun Pass from somewhere on Mt Ossa?
