Thanks for some recognisable landmarks.
At first, I thought Olympus/Byron/Cuvier area, but a closer look at the angles suggests you're further west, so maybe Pyramid Peak?

There are landmarks. What more do you want?
I was on a long walk. This view was towards the end of it.

Then I'll give you some possibly slightly more recoognisable clues.

No Abels were involved in the entire walk.
There is a 1:25k map with the name of a nearby peak, but it isn't a map of this bit of Tassie.

Define "near".
I could see the POWs during lot of this walk, but there is some significant water in between that range and this.

Ok, so it sounds like Diamond isn't the peak you mentioned. Probably not Cuvier or Adamson. I gave up at the Ds.

More than halfway to right initial. Persevere! The map covers an area a long way from the relevant peak, which is across a valley and not the closest to me.

Not sure about Greycap, but you're probably right about Frankland. I know where it was, but still trying to work out the direction in which I'm looking.

Your on RAP, looking due West, the mountains on the right being the Companion range and in the distance are the Propsting and Lawson Ranges!

It looks to me like somewhere near Stacks? Is that St Pauls Dome LH back?

Much closer with Stacks - go east...
That should be St Pauls Dome in view

There's an obscured lump on the right. Looking at the map, maybe Sphinx Bluff?
