robl is indeed correct! Lovely little spot, Leonards Tarn.

Looks like you are on the Ducaine Range looking past the edge of Massif over to Falling Mountain.
That would make the rise in the far distance the WOJ area.

Good one Phil

That was a top spot - magnificent grass to camp on - delightful swimming after a stinking hot climb past Lake Bill and then this perfectly still moody morning.

I recall arriving at this spot earlier this year and being blown away by the beauty of it.........we all agreed that we'd bring the tents back another time and park ourselves there for a couple of days!

I'll see if I can search out a photo.......

You guys should check out the photos that phil posted from earlier in the year.
You will find one of you is close but wrong peak.
Then you will have to work out where phil was?

Looking back at Phil's posts - i don't think he posts at night.
So you will probably only find out tomorrow.

Rather than Little Hugel I reckon the subject of the photo might be Mt Hugel with the western ridge of Rufus on its left. Taken from Shadow Lake or the track somewhere nearby. BUt I won't be on line again until tomorrow night so if by some chance (fat chance) that is right someone else better post a photo on my behalf.

ILUVSWTAS,
Am thinking of feb AND july 2010. But nothing concrete yet. And I most often go solo.
Thanks for the interest/offer!

I know where it is, having walked through there in August and my own photos match. Pending Phil's judgement but I suspect Bauera might be close enough.

I think bauera is close enough; yes the photo is of Mount Hugel with the western ridge of Rufus on the left of the pic. I've added a google earth image to show the location of where the photo was taken from.......I think it's fair to say that bauera's answer is good enough; it seems that bauera won't be on-line until later tonight; do we have the patience to wait till then............

Thanks for your patience, all. I too looked at Google Earth and thought that was where you were, Phil, but was unsure of how to describe it more clearly. Anyway, here is an easy one.

Also like your recent walks. Molto jealous! Hoping to get to Western Arthur's next year. But as to the game you need to look south. Not Salome. Perhaps you should think about which wall you are looking at and the angle/distance you are looking from. Can't say fairer than that, now can I, guv.

I am on very slow links at the moment - so am not going to try answering.
Suffice to say we have tennis tomorrow... [better clue than fishing - although I have seen folk fishing in this lake]

Anyway - apart from that woosy feeling that comes from a tilted horizon - thanks for the photo.
It is very enlightening re one part of the next Tas adventure we are preparing for.
