Thanks, norts.

Not a lot of visual clues with this one, but enough to start guessing.

That's right, Graham. Thought it would be easy enough.

Today's plan was to walk to Lake Olive area but we were thwarted by locked gates. We ended up here - where is this photo from?

Very good. They are unnamed lakes, and Andrews was in view to my left.
This was from a high point between this shelf of lakes and McRae/Ellen which were behind.

Hi Tortoise,

Yes, it's the February - knew it would be easy. So sad to see so many cushion plants destroyed by the fires.

:( I hope to get back there soon, but it's sad indeed.

What am I looking at in the fore-ish-ground?

Lees Paddocks? Some part of the Mersey River valley, anyway.

Sorry nnw, not actually the Mersey nor it's headwaters, and more well-travelled than Lees Paddocks. I've just realised that shrinking the pic has obscured a couple of very characteristic mountains.

I think you are on the Barn Bluff track looking over Waterfall Valley, the Waterfall Valley hut would be just off to the left of view.

Not Bobs, unfortunately - wrong end of the state. (So much yet to do in the SW!) This one isn't high enough to be an Abel, but it is worth one peak-bagging point. :)
Edit: There are at least 2 Abels in view, though.
