So from where do you get that view of Mt Marian from the Mtn River end? and where does the Mtn River end start? Here is the next easy one from an often visited peak in this forum.

It starts at Mtn River (funnily enough) and pops up between Collins Bonnet and Trestle Mtn. You go left towards Trestle along the East-West trail for around 30-45mins and the pic is taken from there!! Trestle is accessed from just near where the Mountain river track ends and a bit further along the Mt Marian track starts!

Sorry, ILUVSWTAS, my answer to you was obviously too obscure. I meant your guess was cold, so that is a "no". Not Rufus, nor anywhere near it.

What has happened to the game? No takers for this very easy photo. It has been over 36 hours with no guesses. If you are all waiting for clues think central / Mersey region.

ILUVSWTAS - you are right. Sorry, but you have no idea about this one. But I did have the same thought - where is Eggs? Norts is pretty close but no cigar. It is Ossa but not from Cathedral. May even be looking over Cathedral.

Thank you Tasadam. Where have you been for the last day and a half. Your go. By the way, does anyone know what caused the connection problems yesterday (Sunday), not to mention the auto logon feature becoming disabled for no apparent reason?

I'e been rather busy sorting stuff out after the walk. More to follow.

No idea on the connection problems.

Bauera is an interesting name. Did you know it can grow to over 4 metres? I found a couple of living examples of that.

OK Off to find an image... Back soon.

Looks south westish. South West Cape Range looking north? Bauera may grow to 4 metres but my growth has been stunted much short of that. I believe it may be described as wiry, tough and nasty.

From memory, looking north you would be looking along the range, like this

But I could be wrong. :wink:
In any case, yes it is on the SW Cape range.
So your go again...

Well obviously I have my directions wrong. The features don't mean much to me, not that they are really clear features. That button grass slope really reminds me of SWC Range, maybe Mt Karamu, maybe Pascoe Range, but all in the same area. Given the amount of scrub in the gully it must be fairly sheltered so on the eastern or north-eastern side. So, could be looking south or south-east. But to be honest I have no idea. Probably time for bed anyway, so I will leave it to clearer heads to work out.
Some memory you have, tasadam. Could be described as "photographic'. Well now you have conspired to keep me out of bed a bit longer here is another photo.

I think you must have missed my comment under the north photo, I've already awarded it to you, as you are right in that I am on the SW Cape Range. I was actually looking roughly east in that image.
Your go again.
