I thought I recognised it, I was out there fighting fires a few years ago.

Still with water crossings. Bit more water here.

Doesn't look too bad. Especially with the (uncharacteristic) blue skies and sunshine.

Still with water crossings. This is what you can see on the low route...

...and if you go over the top, it's like this.

You may end up with an invoice for a surgical procedure, from a very good poker player . . .

A quick google search of best poker players gave me Greg Mueller, so maybe somewhere near Mt Mueller, with the surgical procedure referring to The Needles nearby?

An inventive interpretation, but not at all what I was getting at. There's nothing like this on the way up Mueller. What I was climbing isn't an Abel, it isn't even called a mountain.

No idea about the poker player. Otherwise I'd guess at Little Billopp, as it fits the first 2 clues, and there's probably lots of old hydro stuff up there.
Edit: Wikipedia tells me Jonathan Little is a professional poker player, so my confidence has increased. :)

Billopp is correct. The poker reference was simply trying to point you to 'Bluff'.
Never heard of a 'Little' Billopp, but you're close enough, Torty.

Fanks! I don't think we came across those bits and pieces on our walk there, but my forgetory is substantial.

How 'bout this magnificent spot?

I say! One of those delightful open spots on the ridge walking up to Lake Sydney/Mt Bobs/The Boomerang?

Gorgeous shot.

Indeedy do, Zano. My photos don't do it justice - the dramatic mountains rising from the oceans of cloud were just..umm...well, words fail me too. What a privilege we have to visit these magnificent places!!

Wineglass?

From the look of it, 'stinkray' might be more appropriate.

Not Wineglass, but it is on the Freycinet Peninsula. Yeah by memory it was producing some very pungent smells!

Yes - I was not straying far from the last. Next to the Hazards Campsite.
Loved the late afternoon light.

Perhaps you were driving instead of walking? Looks vaguely like somewhere along the Western Explorer. Looking at Norfolk Range?

Spectacular indeed. Made my first trip up there in March and wondered why it had taken me so long. Next one.
