Yes they certainly do.............................................

Ok Nick your obviously close enough :wink:

Charles it is! A VERY fun little peak to climb! Quite a scramble at the end.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 8:39 am

Oh well no sign of Nick. Im gonna go again until im told otherwise

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

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 1:24 pm

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

by **tas-man** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 1:28 pm

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.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 1:36 pm

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

by **tas-man** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 1:53 pm

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.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 2:05 pm

Ohhh so close, so very very close........

Below the summit of Mt Roland?

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 2:37 pm

Yeh thats it!
Sensational walk on a very impressive mountain.

Agree with that, really enjoyed my one trip up there. Good weather on the day and fantastic views

. No wonder it looked familiar.

Sadly what you can see from my pic was the extent of my views

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.

Is it in the walls somewhere?

Yes it is...

by **Robbo** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 7:34 pm

Looks a bit like Silver Lake at the bottom end of Bernes Valley...

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

by **johnw** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 8:44 pm

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.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 8:50 pm

Like the travellers or something?

Lake Youd?

Google satellite shows up a fallen white tree trunk sloping towards the eastern bank

by **johnw** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 9:34 pm

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...

by **eggs** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 9:40 pm

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.

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 9:45 pm

Hmmm is that PB and Pindars in the baclground, can almost make out the landslide on VC as well..... which would put you on.... Geez almost Fedders?

EDIT - probably more likely 4 peaks with Geeves in the foreground??

by **eggs** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 9:52 pm

I think you will find the profile from Federation or 4 peaks is quite different

by **ILUVSWTAS** » Wed 23 Sep, 2009 9:54 pm

Hmm hoping to find out in person at Xmas.

am I right about the background range???
