Thanks Last. I haven't explored that side of the Cradle area, relied on a trip report and LISTmap.

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

It's a good little walk. Join it up with Montague and Wellington Falls and it makes for a neat day out.
Wasn't ready for that. Excuse me while I dive into the archives ...

Well it's one of the bigger tarns and I have a similar photo. I think that bump up the top is above Lake Newdegate. I'll take a stab at Johnson Tarn

Thanks eggs. I think it's actually Johnston, which is what I typed, but some spell checker decided otherwise.

It’s actually looking over a little tarn just below Mt Sarah Jane, near the turn off to the climb, but Lonely Tarns is near enough.
