GAME: Where am I?

[vagrom]

Won't be able to post till early hours tomorrow. Perhaps someone else could post in the meantime.

[Graham51]

I haven't had a turn for a little while so try this. Where was I on this morning?

[Tortoise]

Looking at Walled Mountain, I think. From Elysia?

[Graham51]

That's right. A tarn just above our tent.

[Tortoise]

Thanks, Graham. Next:

[bogholesbuckethats]

Lovely photo. Is that on the northern slopes of Rufus looking towards Hugel?

[RicktheHuman]

Are you on Mt Rufus?

[Tortoise]

That's it. Magic day.

[Tortoise]

Are you on Mt Rufus?

Sorry, Rick. BHBH beat you by a few seconds apparently.

[bogholesbuckethats]

Thanks Tortoise, a great spot.

next one

[vagrom]

One lump or two?

Strangely familiar, that camel hump. Is it the Mt Spurling
plateau?

[bogholesbuckethats]

Nope not Mt Spurling. This mountain is much more accessible.

[vagrom]

The van Dyke plateau. The summit's out of view.

That's the one. Some nice walking up there.

[vagrom]

From the excellent blog of one of this forum's members. He's looking at a landing spot 55m down, if I remember rightly. Where is he?

[Tortoise]

Minnow Falls?

[vagrom]

Not Minnow Tortoise, though he did a great write-up on those falls too - famed for being impossible to view from the top.
But the view here is pure wilderness (almost).

There is that!

[vagrom]

Well a fairly long passed mining history.

[eggs]

The Montezuma Falls. I worked at the Renison Bell mine during uni vacation one year.
From one of the hills in their mine area you could see the falls.
I am pretty sure the guys there said there was some old vehicle track to near the top of the falls. The above report did not mention seeing anything.
But the wild west hides a lot of old secrets.
We stumbled on an old gold stamping battery when climbing up a creek near Trial Harbour on one occasion.
And standing on the flattened land where the smelter at Crotty once stood - it was hard to imagine the wild bush surrounds once held a town of 10,000 people.

[vagrom]

Yes eggs. I saw the same as I climbed Dromedary on coastal NSW, an incredible history of heavy boilers being dragged up mountains in the wilderness and now they're being consumed by that wilderness, trees growing through the great rusted pieces.

Yes it's Montezuma Falls on the Avon Creek. A fascinating trip and always getting home after dark.

Wonder if that's the Meredith Range off to the left.
She's a honey.

[eggs]

Lets see who is paying attention

Mts Oakleigh and Pelion East early morning from a tarn near the Hydrographers Hut

[devoswitch]

Mt Oakleigh from the hydro hut by any chance?

[Tortoise]

Thanks for posting those photos, Eggs. I've been meaning to get there for many years, and my motivation to actually do it has just increased!

[eggs]

Yes devoswitch
This larger tarn is a short walk south of the Hydro Hut.
There was ice in parts of it on this lovely morning

[devoswitch]

Thanks for that. Next one shouldn’t be too difficult

[vagrom]

Nowhere near Big Gun Pass?

[Tortoise]

I think it's approaching the summit of Mt Victoria.

[vagrom]

That's it.

[devoswitch]

Yeah that’s it Tortoise! I was pleasantly surprised how amazing it was up there. Over to you
