Crossing the Florentine??

Floating down the Picton?

by **johnw** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 9:10 am

Not floating down the Picton robl.
Not the Florentine, but you're getting very warm ILUVSWTAS.
...And I'm not actually crossing the river, strictly speaking.

Little Florentine?

Not Little Florentine. Another clue, it is south-east of the Florentine.

Ahh must be the Styx maybe??

Aha! Yes, it is the Styx River ILUVSWTAS. The location is in the Styx Big Trees Reserve past Maydena. This specific spot is at the end of a short track that leads down to the river, very close to the boardwalk circuit promoted by Forestry Tasmania. I walked a short distance past the official end of the track and onto a rocky sandbank that protrudes into the river, which is what gives the impression I that may be standing on a bridge or crossing the river. Your turn.

Nicely done! Definately looked as though you were on a bridge! Or crossing over a log.

Ok lets see.....

Nice picture ILUVSWTAS. What camera did you use?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 10:26 am

Cheers Walkintas
It's just a Fuji s8000fd 8mp's

Just a cheapo unfortunately Really would love a fancy one......

I certainly have not been here, but it has a central to SW feel about it. If the pointy peak in the distance is Diamond Peak, and the range the POW's, then you could be standing on the Pleiades, but this is all a bit of guesswork, and may generate a clue

A nice photo with great depth of field, so must be at maximum wide angle setting which may confuse the feel for distances.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 2:55 pm

Definately Sw Tasman, But not as far west as your suggesting. Definately visited much much much more than anywhere near the POWS

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 3:07 pm

OK then, next guess is looking at Naturaliste Peak from near the track in the saddle north of Florentine Peak in the Mt Field NP.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 3:08 pm

Thats the one!! Well done! Certainly sees a few more people than the POW....

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 3:17 pm

That was thanks to Google Earth in 3D and the clue that it was "much much much more visited!" Here's how it looks in Google Earth as close as I could get.

Now to dig out some old slides for a new photo, as I have covered all my digitally photographed areas!

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 3:33 pm

Geez I love the way you, Eggs and a couple others do that, I really should try to learn that myself.....

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:20 pm

I got a bit diverted going through my slides, but eventually decided on one for you, ILUVSWTAS :wink:

As there was not a specific "feature" that I took this photo from, I am looking for the name of the creek to the right of the photo. or the feature about half a kilometer behind me. Have a go anyone and I will drop a clue or two to 'encourage" you.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:28 pm

Hmmm intriguing! Ok to get the clues rolling

horsehoe creek?

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:32 pm

Not Horseshoe Creek but most definitely in the right area - look at the sun direction again

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:38 pm

Hmmm is is the namesake of my most favourite beach in the world Windowpane creek?

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:44 pm

No, you have gone too far away from your first suggestion, Horseshoe Creek is closer, but the feature behind me is a beach. I reckon you know the Range anyway :wink:

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:50 pm

Ah ok.... hope im not wrong this time then Hannant?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 4:57 pm

Tho im starting to think you may be further back... near the creek that runs to the beach your referring to......

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:00 pm

Ahaaagh! Close! Not Hannant Creek but even closer now and moving in the right direction.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:02 pm

Ahhh thought maybe so.. Murgab...??

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:27 pm

That's it, spot on :!:

Your turn again

The photo was taken from a hill circled in the photo below, which was taken a few hours earlier when descending the South West Cape Range heading for the sheltered campsite under the trees at Murgab Creek. One of my absolute favourite places, but the weather was special for SW Tassie on that occasion.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:31 pm

It is a magical place! we had 7 days of fabulous weather, got crayfish at Noyheener (that correct spelling??) and had a very relaxed rest day at GORGEOUS windowpane! Saw 6 walkers the whole time and for early Feb We were amazed at that!!

Still one of my favourite walks ever!! With some track and some off track walking and very little mud which is so common on the South coast!!

Ok here goes a more "central"one..

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:37 pm

Taken from top of Mt Faulkner looking over the Derwent?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 5:53 pm

Haha eeeasy peeeasy!

I know a couple of guys who have had trouble getting up there so thought that might be interesting...

well done!

by **tas-man** » Sat 19 Sep, 2009 7:21 pm

OK - next location - the game has had to wait a long time for this location to appear.
