GAME: Where am I?

[bluewombat]

Where was I camped

[bluewombat]

It's a named campsite on a prominent Abel

[Tortoise]

Looking very Notchy. Shelf Camp? Edit: though arguably that's not on an Abel.

[bluewombat]

Shelf Camp it is, over to you.

[Tortoise]

Shelf Camp it is, over to you.

Thanks, bw. I think over-thunk it. Magnificent spot. Next:

[Graham51]

From Mt Wedge?

[Tortoise]

From Mt Wedge?

Not a bad guess, Graham. More zoom, though, and things don't line up quite right for Wedge.

[L_Cham_67]

Mt Weld?

[eggs]

Maybe Mt Eliza?

[Graham51]

Mt Sprent?

[Tortoise]

Maybe Mt Eliza?

And the master has it. Climbing up to the plateau from High Camp hut.

As a general note for folks: It's a bit tricky with zooming in (for the detail) and out for the context and seeing where the line takes you, but I've found using the line drawing tool on LISTmap helpful for angles - especially like this photo, where the peaks are clear. In the photo, Reeds Peak is closer to the Thumbs than to Clear Hill, which takes you on a line to Eliza. If you draw the line as far as you can and click, then zoom out, continue the line at the same angle, and repeat, it'll get you closer to the spot. If you have time to play with it, of course.

Thanks Tortoise

Of course, that is exactly what I did.
However, the rough lineup could have suggested Anne as well as Eliza.
So it was up to the foreground detail, and it was the snippet of road that had me favouring Eliza in the end.

Hugel Plateau?

[eggs]

Yes Graham

[Graham51]

Thank you.
Where was I last week?

[Letstryagain]

On the wonderful SW cape range looking down to the remarkable windowpane bay.

On the wonderful SW cape range looking down to the remarkable windowpane bay.

Yes I was although I didn’t feel so wonderful at this stage.

[Letstryagain]

Ha, I bet. I do remember it being a long way to tackle in a day. Especially if you take the wrong tracks to the coast too early.

Here's a screenshot (this website allows allows ridiculously small files) of somewhere I camped recently.

[north-north-west]

This one is driving me up the wall. The brain is going "I know that, but ... ""

[Graham51]

Is it the northern end of Lake Meston?

[Letstryagain]

Close to Meston.

[eggs]

Stretcher Lake?

[Letstryagain]

Not at Stretcher.
Very popular campsite for this area. One of my favourite sites. Definitely should be awarded first place.

[north-north-west]

Definitely should be awarded first place.

That suggests Silver, although it's east of Meston, not north.

[Letstryagain]

It is silver.
Who said anything about a direction from Meston? I just said close. Which it kinda is.

[north-north-west]

You're right - I was getting tangled up with the suggestion of the northern end of Meston. Apologies.

No tent in view, but I did camp not far from here.

[Letstryagain]

Well thankyou. 100% accepted.

Now, are you in the curly area? Maybe Shining MTN?

[north-north-west]

Wel, it is in the western half of the state, but otherwise you're well off base. *nostalgic sigh at the thought of Curly and Shining ...

[Letstryagain]

Yes I concur. I wish my old legs still had it in them.
Lake curly is one of the state's true gems.

Right, might it be that new mtn they made up recently near Frenchman's then?
