Is that Cathedral Rock you are looking down at? It's been over 20 years, but I thought Montague Thumbs area was much more scrubby than that.
Actually, would probably take you more than 2 hours to get back & upload photo, so not likely.

It was taken two hours ago but you're stuck in the office today? And that is why I used to love living in Hobart.
I reckon Tasadam is right with Catherdral Rock, taken from S of Mt Wellington summit

Definitely looking down on Cathedral Rock but not from Mt Montague(or Thumbs). They can all be seen from this place.
Probably a bit more West than South from Mt Wellington summit, would have to check though - not from Sth Wellington Track anyhoo.
Couldn't let today go without getting out there.

In that case, from Thark Ridge, which would make that gully in front NW Bay River and makes more sense than from where I was first looking. If I'm right I have no photos to post though.

You are indeed correct, Thark Ridge it is, wish I could have stayed up there, by now all the cloud over the Southern Peaks will have burned off. :(
Well hopefully someone else will be up there now.
First in with a photo, can go - maybe whynotwalk is back?

At least you had the opportunity to go up there, I don't have anything as wild and close to dash up. I'm stuck at home with my house invaded by boys at the moment. The joys of school holidays! :?

Seeing as last time I posted my pic was solved in seconds... I won't be quite so kind this time around.

[The pic will also rule out the participation of a regular participant or two. One of them should be thankful that I didn't use the other pic where he was posing like Conan the Barbarian. :twisted: ]

Has to be some obscure lump of rock sticking out of the SW somewhere with numbers allocated according to pain endured - the latest entries have some good names though.
A guess - Mt Frederick?

Yes, but there is another! My hint is a different type of geographical feature. :mrgreen:

Hot/cold?

Welllll...
Looking at all the clues and doing a bit of googling (trying to solve this one to keep the game moving) (and I've had another coffee)
Looking at ILUVSWTAS's recent peaks in his sig...
Mt Morrison is somewhere near Ross. And that photo looks nothing like Ross. So I'm discounting that one.
Spion Kop is in South Forest according to a number of google results, and we know this photo is somewhere in the northeast.
That leaves Mt Blackboy.
It's in the Northeast, it has Mathinna Falls, a 4 tier waterfall cascading down its side. But I cannot find reference to something on it that resembles a puzzle.
I might have to open "thelist" and have a browse to see what's near it.

Cool. My spot is south of Fingal.

Tasadam, I'm sure you can figure it out from thelist. My clues should help pinoint the area. :mrgreen:
