From a high point a bit east of Gretna. I had never seen Anne from there before but I was up fairly high.

Actually not even a fisherman would hang around Gre.....

I was driving through from Elderslie and noticed a track heading off uphill into a plantation so went for a sticky.

We drove to a knob 753m elevation about 1k nw of Tanina bluff. Better than expected view but Mt. Anne was far away and only a compact digital so not a real good pic.
Still thought it worth a quick snap. The Snowy range is also quite visible from there.

Your go sbs , well done.

Thanks ff, it's great to have time for a sticky beak, some surprising views can be attained!
Thanks to Google Earth for that one! I can see the road NW of Tanina :shock:
This is tourist central, a great spot though.....most people face the other way!

Good to see the game continuing.
But another lovely weekend dawns and it is a little quiet again.
Being protein rich I thought I should put up the panorama to help... :wink:

Looks like it will be quiet today, nice day for a stroll in the South, I'm off to a winery all day :D , to work :(
NE Ridge of Anne, hey eggs - I'm hoping for the same trip sometime in Jan also....can't wait.
If someone gets it, just carry on....it's a great short walk.

Hey Eggs, a nice panorama, though I will say for anyone that can search back to the early parts of the game, I've seen that before!
I remember the discussion about the person in the foreground on the left.

Alright 48hrs, that's enough, Donaghy's Lookout - someone had to say it :roll:

I'm sure someone has been somewhere far more enticing this weekend.....so let's see a photo and keep the game going.....

Where were you?

Looks vaguely familiar, Central Highlands, maybe around The Great Lake somewhere - but I've never really explored that area so couldn't name any peaks.
I took a drive up from the Midlands Highway, through Interlaken and out via Golden Valley, and have gone through via Bothwell a couple of times.
I suspect there is a lake with a fishing line dangling in it if you were facing the other way :D
In short, Dunno.

It seems a main feature of the central highlands are the Walls of Jerusalem.
We are booked for a 5 day walk through here in early Jan, so this one is a good photo for setting the scene.
The peaks at the back are Solomons Throne, King Davids Peak [I used to call it the Western Wall??] the Temple & Mt Jerusalem
Now I just need to look at a map to work back on the angles.

Of course, I can recognise King Davids Peak & Solomons Throne, I'm always forgetting how close things appear via the straight line.
Maybe around Talleh lagoons or Lake Fanny?

That's near enough sbs, it's actually from Christy's creek on the Lake Fanny track. Talleh lagoons are over the treed ridge just under the walls.

Its an area I've been to heaps of times for fishing, I love it out there.

Your go mate.

Do yourself a favour Adam, go and have a look. In January all the wildflowers will be out and there are heaps of mini gardens out there with lots of photo opportunities.

Just take the road from Liawenee to Lake Augusta and follow it to the car park at Lake Ada, then walk the old four wheel drive track which heads towards the WOJ.

Plenty of nice camp spots at places like Lake Fanny, Talleh Lagoons etc. Pillans and Ada 25k maps show tracks, huts etc. Check it out! :D

That does a lot to put me in the picture of where the photo was... Which is good because I was too lazy to pull the map out.
Thanks.
Yes, I know of the road but haven't been down it any more than a few hundred metres at Liawenee.
Must do that one day.

Thanks ff,
Back online - anyone else just lose BWT for half an hour?
I too haven't had time for a sticky down that road from Liawenee, looks like great country.
This one is from a great walk not far from home, slightly off track, just name the feature I'm close too.

Looks like Mt Wellington rocks, but not sure. Just a guess - the Springs.
Looks like you're too high up for Silver Falls to be close.
