We will continue to grind bits off the unknown....

So I know I am sort of right & sort of wrong.
By which I can assume I am somewhere between being in the right quarter of the state, but at the other side of that quarter
- to actually having one of Glovers Bluff, Weld River and/or Snowy South "sorta right"
Any chance of a crumb....

I looks as if it could be the Derwent Valley looking NW with New Norfolk just out of sight.

Huon Valley I'd presume?
From Bermuda Road or near there?

Well your kind of half right my halfwitted friend :lol:

It's Huonville indeed but as shot is taken over 20k's away from Bermuda road (Bermuda faces SW and gives AMAZING views of the SW peaks but not Huonville itself) I'll have to ask you to guess again as to the whereabouts of where this shot is taken from.......

Yeah, it was a pretty half-a$$ed answer mate, I don't think I've even been up Bermuda Road,
but I know it's one of you favourite local drives so was a total guess.
I'll leave it up to the detectives to solve I think.

Haha yeh good try. Bermuda is cool. so close to home yet such good views of Weld, Anne The WA, Picton.......

Ah well here's a clue, anyone who's walked in the Southwest would have to go over this location, and you get a good view of Mt Picton in good weather. Most people think it's Adamsons peak though.....

Well I am certainly confused.
What is established so far? A very well known valley from a spot everyone going to the SW has to pass through..

Are we are looking up the Huon River valley? - not established yet as the only given is we are looking at Huonville.
We are looking approx North - given it is a morning fog and the shadows are therefore lying to the west of the trees.

We also know are over 20 km from Bermuda Road. That could put you at Lower Longley - which I think is stepbystep's spot.
(His reference to Southern Outlet is probably the Huon Fwy - where it meets the old Huon Road)
But looking north from there is nowhere near Hounville?? And there are a whole line of mountains to the north which appear to be missing.
[Could this be an evening coastal fog? and therefore we are looking south ?]

duh

What he said :?
What's confusing me is why someone as well travelled as yourself would post from here :roll:
If it is this spot on the hwy/fwy it has a special name, Vince's Saddle I think.
C'mon Mark this is getting TDS now :wink:

Well thats the game isnt it! "where am I" not "where am I kinda near" :twisted:

yes it's Vinces Saddle looking at the Huon Valley. I posted this one cause even someone as well travelled as me is running out of shots, and I wanted to throw a harder one in to keep everyone on their toes.....
and it was taken very early in the morning, the fog is a common feature for us down here... certainly NOT looking north, I may have to look at the pic again to see why you were convinced I was Brian.......

Over to you Dan.....

No need Mark - I was misconstruing the shadows. I can now see the sun was behind you and you were facing westish.

So this looks like the photo eggs requested recently?
Not my favourite walk but the walk back 'in' the river that me & Oll did was fun, including swimming Tiger snakes :shock:

Ok, I should have left that to someone else, but it's been a while.
I'm also running a little low without being obvious & putting something from recently up,
so I'll put this hopefully easy one up...
