Good work teak, that's exactly where I am. We walked mid-winter from Corinna through the rainforest in the rain. It was nice despite being a little bleak and chilly. All yours.

Looks a bit like Australia Tarn, but it wouldn't be from a very specific spot (somewhere on the way up Gell), so it's probably not right.

Sorry not Australia Tarn, I am on a track on the edge of a named area and the lake is very well known.

Thanks teak, this one should be pretty straightforward to keep the lake theme going...

Thanks Geevesy. I've been there few times, it has a very distinctive shape.

To keep the ball rolling I think this one should be fairly easy:

devoswitch - I have a very similar shot taken from shortly down the track from the saddle down to the shore of Lake Hartz.
The track was a little overgrown back in 2008, but still a nice walk.

Well, if that is Adamsons and the Calf at the back - which, given my facility with landmark recognition, it won't be - I'm guessing you're somewhere to the nw of them on something with a cairn that I don't think I've climbed, which could be maybe Riveaux?

I concur.

Still overgrown in 2015 :roll:

L_Cham, were you here?

On the scree below Mt Picton, just before you get to Steanes Tarn. Looking to Mt Hartz above the Picton River Valley. Is that the same cairn, too? :lol:

Damn, right about the landmarks, wrong about the line (and whether I've been there).

It was your guess at Riveaux that made me recognise where it was, so ta! ;)

Sure was! We didn't make it any further than that boulder field though. :( The weather turned sour.

Raglan Range, looking into the Reserve. This is near where you peel off the old vehicle track to head out to Flat Bluff.
