Not Brewery Knob - you would be looking straight through Cradle Mt.

Thank you eggs. The map suggested that locale but I've never walked past the Face track on the Rodway, so a guesstimate.

Apparently eggs. I had thought this would go quickly since it's not far from the last one and well known. A bit of zoom and the lake out of sight.

Good grief where are they all? In the meantime we interrupt usual programming to bring you the eggs and John show.

Not Mt Read. I'm not in the west and didn't ascend any significant peaks here.

I would just about swear that that is on the way up (or down) Handley, though it could be elsewhere on meenamatta aka the Blue Tier..

We walked a circuit via Wellington Creek from Poimena. I think this could possibly be the flanks of Australia Hill or Mt Littlechild, but your answer is more than acceptable NNW.
meenamatta/Blue Tier was all I needed.

Littlechild is all forest. That looks more like the lower part of the Australia Hill track, or Poimena.

Where did I meet this tree, some years back?

It’s not too far from a pub that needs a new roof (well it did when I was there in January).

Yes, going through my photo sequence I'd say Australia Hill. I need a camera with GPS stamp.

Current photo. Is the hut named?

Not on the map I have - could be privately owned.
There’s a well established walking track for anglers and a cool old railway between the river and the road.

Mmm, historically a pub, railway, river, hut, anglers and walking in the one spot. WAG, Tyenna River?

Spot on mate.
The roof of the National Park Hotel had a tarp on part of it in January…
Even without a rod in hand, it’s a beautiful river and well worth a stroll.

Driving through there I've always wondered if the river is worth a walk. Noted for when I next manage to come down.

Hmm - unlikely to be the Gingerbread Hut track, has more of a Wellington feel to it.
