I don't know the area well enough but, looking at the map, are you somewhere near Australia Tarn or The Hippogriff looking at Mt Gell?

Wondered if we're looking at Macs to Nereus, but it doesn't quite look the right profile...

Not on top of the Ducane Range, but a fair way up the side. Lots of rock pools there.

Geeze I reckon you could split the difference between those two. Both are correct. I'm at the highest point between Lake Helios and the Gully that climbs up from The Labryinth.
Tortoise was first and I was a little bit closer to between Eros and Hyperion

Wrong half of the Island.
The lumps at the back left are very recognisable from all other angles

I thought it might be in the Wellingtons but I was trying to think "look north." Then I thought Snake Plains but now I think that's Mt Montague, perhaps from White Timber Mountain?

Maybe as far away as the Snowy Range? On the slopes of Nevada Peak?
