No takers? Odd. Thought I'd hit a sweet spot with this one.

I only recognise the mountain in the background (Pelion West i think), so I'll haphazard a guess that you're at the Tyndall Range perhaps?

Good start there. Now, put that together with my clue and you should be able to name the place I camped near.

Your clue threw me until I realised it might not be referring to a peak.
Perhaps Nectar Lakes?

That's better.
Yes, a low rise just south of Nectar Lakes, with a gap facing Pelion West perfectly situated for a little sunrise photography. I don't always pitch on the high spots...although there is a good tentsite up on top of Sedgwick...

Thanks, Eggs. Been very high on my list for a very long time. I'll get there eventually.

Next one - on which cool peak was the wind blowing strongly enough to have fun with, and to knock me over a couple of times?

Sure it was the wind? Not some other object that came back at you when you threw it?

I reckon you've nailed it Robert H, most definitely the Boomerang! Better view than I got - download/file.php?id=1401&mode=view

Which means your recollections are generally more accurate than mine, 'cause that's exactly where it is. Beautiful creek and forest just there.
