It reminds me of Emily Tarn and little Arthur Tarn below. Are you on Hartz Peak, or maybe the saddle between Hartz and Snowy?

Yes John. Looking down from Hartz before we continued on to Mt Snowy.

Thanks Graham. I've climbed Mt Snowy via the tarns below but not across from Hartz.

Much closer but no. I could possibly see Adamsons from here in clearer conditions.

I'm not far from Graham's previous photo. I mean really not far.

It is from Mt Snowy, looking at The Boomerang, or to be more technically correct, looking at the clouds in front of The Boomerang. I have a very similar picture, clouds and all.
I found your responses to guesses a little misleading

You WOULD be able to see Adamsons in clearer conditions

Snowy South is (roughly) in the correct direction from the previous guess (Adamsons) but way too far

You kept me guessing!

I'm being a bit cheeky with this one Last :). You are the closest and I'm happy to award it to you as it is very close, but I'm not on Mt Snowy.
If I turn a bit it's just across the saddle from me. Sorry, I couldn't recall whether I would or wouldn't see Adamsons from my position or if Esperance may obscure it.
My visits are not frequent enough to be 100% certain of what's visible from where in all conditions and I have way too many photos to investigate all of them.
Anyway I'm on Hartz Peak, probably only a metre or two from the last photo.
I was curious to see if anyone would pick it up with less obvious clues in the photo. Over to you.

No bites. It looks vaguely like Lake Osborne.

no to both. Osborne is much closer than Oberon. I see what you mean about it looking Oberonish though.
