I did visit Mayfield Flats on the same trip, but it isn't there or anywhere on the Junction Lake track.
You're not all that far away but NNW's last guess is the closest so far, as the crow flies.

There is definitely a track there, and track markers. About the only thing that leaves is the main track into Wild Dog, but I'm less familiar with that than the rest of the Walls and can't place this specific shot.

Mirroring the game photo on the current page:

Southern end of Blizzard Plain near Lake Bill - Walls of Jerusalem NP via Mole Creek

Not the Wild Dog track. There is a lake over to my right, and a well known peak in view beyond it nearby.

That can be read more than one way.

This is frustrating. Everything suggests somewhere in the Walls, but I don't remember seeing any of those new style marker poles in there.

Unless it's on the Blizzard Plains track into Bill and Myrtle...

Got there! With confirmation by eggs and Rex Harrison :wink:. This was around 2008 on the edge of Blizzard Plain near Lake Bill - we walked out that way. My recollection is mostly half collapsing older timber marker poles but there could have been some newer as well.

That was more tiring than walking it.

Don't have anything prepared with snow, so here's some better weather to warm you up.

Is it near the Watcher at Mt Field????

Not as far south as Mt Field. Not as far north as Beecroft. There's something famous in there, but not a famous bit of it.

Nearly there, and you're right with the famous thing, but not quite the answer I'm after.

A bit more...

I think you are south of the Gingerbread Hut on the Gingerbread track - with Lake Dixon hidden by the slope below and the Franklin going through what appears as a small gorge in your photo.
Maybe Mt Pitt shrouded in cloud on the LHS?
{PS - you can actually just see the Radio repeater tower on Dolly Hill}

Perhaps at this spot starred - with the view as shown and the gorge ringed by Green

That's about the spot - near some sandstone outcroppings going down the Gingerbread, looking into one of the early gorges on the Franklin River. It's amazing how many there are on that thing.

I like the theme.

You're looking at a King Billy Pine, on Flat Bluff, Philps and Sharlands visible behind, Frenchmans covered in cloud, Clytemnestra almost clear.

It pays to be thorough sometimes. Wasn't taking any chances on that one.

I'm feeling watery, so what's the name of this lake, and on which side am I?

Lunka Lake? From just north of where I tried to swim to the island but turned around with brain freeze about 1/2 way across. Wow that water was cold!

I tried to pick a time when you weren't here, to give everyone else a chance.
Yeah, Lunka. Some lovely country around the bottom of it.

Huh... I'm not very good at this game, so I've got to grab these when I can. :-)

Yes, I circumnavigated the lake after my aborted swim, and there are several special spots at various points around it.

Where 'dis?
