The clouds cooperatively lifted for us when we got to KW2. This pic has a fair bit more zoom on it, and it's in a different direction.

Good guess, but not quite that far.

Trouble is, you draw a line across Fren chmans, Manfred, Guardians, it doesn't take much variation on the angle to put you on just about any summit in that group.

I should have prepped one before answering. Just gimme a sec ...

You punishing us, nnw? Unless there's a signpost I'm missing, it could be one of about 60,000,000 places in Tasmania.
I'm tempted to defy Eggs to find a clue in this one, but of course he will. :)

There are clues there. It's Dolerite, there's alpine vegetation, an eroded track? It can probably be narrowed to one of merely a few thousand....

Steep descent, pines on the flats and I can see a creek down there ...
There is a signpost not far beyond one edge or another of the shot, and this is a pretty popular route.

I don't know what is out Mt Field East way - but there is some fagus on the flat as well, so lets suggest coming down from Field East?.

Ah. That's where I went wrong. I thought it was a random bit of eroded soil. It never entered my head that nnw might be on a track!

My first thought was a drop maybe mid way along the Tarn Shelf track. But I could not see anything in my shots and I could not remember the red snow poles along there or a track sign.

Getting closer, eggs. Maybe think about ends rather than middles?

The track type matches the track coming down from Newdegate pass. Just don't remember the layout below.

It's such a sastisfying feeling to know I can occasionally flummox you. Yes, descending from Newdegate Pass.

Looks like my recollection of Tarn Shelf, which the clue supports.
I can't remember the distant view but probably Tyenna and/or Florentine Peaks?

Its meant to be easy and tricky at the same time.
Your recollection is correct.
But the main peak at back is not Tyenna or Florentine...
And where am I?
