GAME: Where am I?

[GerryDuke]

Not the Acropolis.

[north-north-west]

Rock looks like quartzite or conglomerate? Cliffs like that but not Frenchmans or Arthurs ... Jukes, Tyndalls, Sorell, Spires, Pokana ...

[bluewombat]

Murchison?

[GerryDuke]

That's it Blue Wombat. Coming back from the summit.

[bluewombat]

I had a nice view from this peak

Murchison?

I considered and discarded Murchison. *alltheswears*

I still can't see it.

At least on BW's photo I can now see that's Fedder and Four Peaks, not Frenchmans from an odd angle that was the rabbit hole I went down. From... edit...Picton?

[bluewombat]

Indeed it was Picton, it was lovely watching the sun play over the various peaks for an hour or two

[Tortoise]

Thanks, bluewombat. I must go back for the view. Good to hear you like mountain-gazing too.

Perhaps the plateau between Tyenna and Florentine

Perhaps the plateau between Tyenna and Florentine

Not that plateau, though you're generally in the right part of the state.

[L_Cham_67]

Are you somewhere around Frances Bluff?

[Last]

Schnells?

Edit, now thinking it's near the lonely tarns

[Tortoise]

Are you somewhere around Frances Bluff?

Yep, that'll do. Eliza Plateau, between Eve Peak & Eliza Bluff. Over to you.

[L_Cham_67]

That's very generous

Looking up to Rats Castle

[L_Cham_67]

Yep that's it. Don't think I was too far away from the road at this point.

[Rexyviney36]

Thanks mate

Where were these peanuts?

Well, you were obviously up on the CP during the big freeze. yingina, Shannon Lagoon, Augusta, Arthur, Woods - they were all iced over from shore to shore Friday evening and most of Saturday and Sunday, and on the more sheltered edges it was incredibly thick. Not sure about this specific spot; it looks more Augustaish than anything else but I'd have thought the gates would all be closed.

[Rexyviney36]

Augusta is correct NNW.
The dad wondering out loud how deep the water under the ice was alarming. But not as alarming as the youngster trying the break the ice by stomping on it, or the even younger fella finding a good spot to toboggan out about 50m off the rocks.

[north-north-west]

I tried the ice on yingina the sensible way - heaviest rock I could lift over my head hurled down onto the surface as hard as possible. Result: one small chip out of the ice and a very pissed off rock skating out at least 50m.

On an Abel. Quite a few in view from here.

[Graham51]

We’re you on Mt Gell?

[north-north-west]

I was not. There is a track to this summit.

[north-north-west]

There aare also tracks to other nearby summits, amongst other things.

Pelion East?

Thank you. I thought this one was going to last another week.
