I'm proxying for eggs, who is a way for a couple of days, and I'm afraid that is incorrect.

Mary is the name of the Lake with the Island, and Martha is the one you nearly can't see. The big snow covered lump is Eldon. If all that is right then iluvswtas is close. :)


Geikie? Actually I think he's on the little bit of high ground between The Chin and Lake Mary.

I reckon that's near enough. :). Eggs' official description was:

The spot I am after is Mt Geikie or Geikie Peak [I think the name has changed over time] in the West Coast Ranges - looking over Lake Mary towards Eldon Peak.
However, 2 points if someone says 'the Chin' - which is more accurate.

Maybe a bit harder than normal because there isn't much to get a bearing from, but you don't need that much wisdom to guess, and you'll be richer for the experience. :D Anyone know the name of the waterlillies?

Ahh that description is dripping with meaning..
It looks like the WOJ.. and Solomon was a wise fellow so maybe one of 'Solomons Jewels' would fit quite nicely :)

Well spotted Nick S, I thought the clues might help. Yes, Solomon's Jewels, WOJ.

You are close. More about angles than distance now.

Sounds good Nick! My views from Rufus were White and slanty...... :( Surprised you can see the Frenchman that well from there, but makes sense! Gell is an impressive looking sucker!!

Yes Nick it is Rufus looking past Gell to Frenchmans Cap. I think the tarn/lake is most likely the next one over the other side of the Hippogriff, up against Mt Gell - for which I can't find a name.

Your go.

LISTmap says that australia tarn is the closer lake, dont know what the further lake is though..

ok now for some trivia, why is there a lake Hermione just north of Mt Hippogriff? is this a harry potter coincidence!? please enlighten me.
The next peak along is called the Chimera, yet another mythical creature, but not in harry potter sadly..

ok next photo
