Yep, of course looking at Hyperion again.

Indeed it is, Artichoke Valley, a nice morning tea spot on the lawns :D
Sorry SW, Peter beat you to it by a whisker.
Over to you Peter...

How did you manage to get there for morning tea? Oh, I get it, left Tahune hut on way to Vera...
The story is we took all day to get from Vera to Tahune because we had our cameras in operation, lunch was on the track just over Barron Pass.

Other way around Adam, left Vera hut for Tahune :D
Also had afternoon tea here on the way back (i.e we just did a day trip to the summit & back from Vera).
Yes, probably a little less photo phaffing from our end, I'm a point & shooter at best :oops:

Beautiful shot Peter, great variation in flower colour.
The pretty side of the devils plant!

In the same place I also saw this remarkable phenomenon. A Bennetts wallaby sipping the nectar from scoparia flowers. For such a fearsome plant, their nectar is very sweet indeed.

Lovely photo of the wallaby. And I am hoping to see some great displays of scoparia flowers in early Jan.

I see that we have gone full circle in the game - and the "vegetation signature" has turned up again.

Scoparia flowering rates seem to be highly variable, and I'm not sure what the triggers are. But after a particularly wet winter, it may be a good year.

Where will you be going in January Brian?

cheers

I have 2 trips lined up in early Jan.

The first is a leisurely 5 day warm up with most of the family starting from Lake MacKenzie and exploring through down to the Walls of Jerusalem. Thats were I hope to see some flowers.

Then 3 of us harder nuts will do a 5 day venture on the Anne circuit - including a night out on the NE ridge.

Both excellent trips too - have fun!

Meanwhile, no-one is guessing where this great display of scoparia is. Hint: it's taken from a very well-known track,

cheers

Is this from the OT near the Waterfall Valley turn-off?
[The ridge in the background with the vegetation signature leads to Barn Bluff]

Yes Brian - well done. It's just south of Waterfall Valley, with Bluff Cirque in the background.

Your turn (and good luck finding some flowering scoparia in a few weeks),

cheers

Well - here goes another one.

A zoom shot to make it a trifle more difficult.

PS - I notice we have now passed 500 unique "Where am I" posts. Haven't done a year of this yet.

Hmmm Looks a bit like the Denisons, but the angle seems to be wrong.

Maybe from the slopes of Sarah Jane looking to Schnells Ridge area (Smiths Tarn slightly obscured by the morrainal dam)?

stu is closest. You cannot see Smiths Tarn from this place.
I might get the view from Sarah Jane on our next trip.

Yes stu - probably about half way up the ascent to the hut on the side of Mt Eliza.
