I have to make an
apology to
eggs who has made a brilliant attempt to create a hypothesis that may fit my photo, HOWEVER, as I did not have a suitable photo handy yesterday, I grabbed this one from some old slides I recently scanned of a six day 1978 trip to Mt Albert Edward (3990 metres) in the Papua New Guinea central ranges. I remember our discussions at the time on how much this terrain resembled alpine NZ or Tasmania, so thought I would slip it in for an hour or so while I tried to dig up a suitable Tassie photo. Well other tasks got in the way and it didn't happen, so the correct answer could have been . . . . from NOWHERE in Tasmania
The flat top mountain in the distance is Mt Yule at 3,050 metres, and the "road" on the LH ridge is the walking track. Fantastic walking country, but it was difficult to comprehend packing my NZ wool shirt and woollen vest and long johns in Port Moresby's tropical heat and humidity the day before flying from sea level to
Garaina Woitape at 1600 metres to start walking. Me on the right
I think you deserve to post the next photo
eggs for having a good go at it
