No takers so I'll have a try. No idea really, but it looks vaguely familar. Is it on the way up Mt Ossa?

No not Ossa, Not sure if it would be more well known, but certainly more accessable than Ossa.

To me it looks more Western Arthurs, but as I haven't been there yet, don't recognise the details of the area. It has to be a "regular" track, as there is an orange triangle track marker in the photo.

Yes a very good track exists through here, It is very accessable. Spectacular mountain though, but no the WA.
Ossa is closer in location, though still a fair way away

OK, (should be working, but theoretically its lunch break) how about the track along the ridge top around Mt Claude, as the rock formations and cloud, and sun direction seem to match this location.

Agree with that, really enjoyed my one trip up there. Good weather on the day and fantastic views :). No wonder it looked familiar.

Yep, I'd like to go back at some point and do Claude and Van Dyke. Oh, the tyranny of distance! :(

This might seem like a really strange answer but the last photo actually looks like a small dam along the Bass Hwy - on the northern side of the hwy, only a kilometre or so past Tas Alkaloids if you're heading towards Deloraine from Launceston :?

No, not anywhere along the Bass Hwy. It's definitely a bushwalking location, quite remote from the nearest road and at least 50 Kms (at a guess) from any industrial building.

Not Silver Lake Robbo. Probably about 15kms from there.

Maybe time for some clues:
It's not close to the central Walls amphitheatre.
It can be seen easily by walkers passing through the Walls area on their way to or from another destination.

Sorry ILUVSWTAS not Travellers; eggs has it though. It is Lake Youd near Mayfield Flats, a little to the NW of Junction Lake and SW of Lake Meston. We were going to Junction Lake on a day trip from our camp at the north end of Meston but turned back not far from here, due to a navigational delay which then saw us facing an approaching weather front. We decided to turn around a few hundred metres short of Junction. More unfinished business for another time :).

Your turn eggs...

I saw Junction from Mt Rogoona, but the peak is a ridge which did not allow a view of Youd from the top.

Next one - and yes it is a zoom.
