Correct Graham51.

Being 4 years old and in Sydney in 1969, your camp was safe from my wandering.

After I recognised it I went to Google Images and found this picture http://mapio.net/pic/p-41903510/ which is almost exactly what our camp would have looked like, with the two old Paddymade tents.

I hope to be camping at this point on 13th Jan. Where is it?

I think you know where I'm standing Zane, but the track isn't quite right - it's on the Bobs route after the turn from the Farmhouse Ck track. Your turn anyway :)

DuCane Range . . . possibly near the DuCane high point, or maybe between Eros & Hyperion.

Probably in the centre of the triangle made by these three points. On the northern edge of Lake Helios. Your go,
NNW.

No guesses yet? I'd have thought there was a very distinctive feature in there.

A big gorge somewhere...
Edit - in the south-west?
Edit edit - pin the tail on the donkey - Denison Gorge? I'm going for the Distinctive Feature at this point.

I was thinking you were looking down at Gordon Gorge from The Thumbs with Mt Wright in the background and Wylds Craig peeking through the clouds,

And the ping pong game continues, going back to Graham - Thumbs over Gordon Gorge it is. Great. Now I can get out for a walk.

There's some close guesses here. Frenchmans area. But where am I standing while taking this shot. Closest feature will do.
