A bit further past the high point but that doesn't really matter. Over to you
That looks like a pad.

Perhaps from roughly halfway between Little Horn and Artillery Knob near those tarns?

These are actually due south from Artillery Knob, but that's close enough.

Thanks eggs. The range in the background looked familiar from a couple of posts before.
Sorry about the lack of proper image. I hope to do the right thing in the future.

I have now downloaded and will now use Faststone Photo Resizer and it looks ok.

Not Remus. I unfortunately deleted those pics from my camera before downloading them. :( :oops:
Right quadrant of the state, though.

Yep. Either the Abel or its very close neighbour. Both are cairned, and we couldn't tell which bit of rock was higher.

Thanks. Yes, I see that the Abel is 1m higher than Black Bluff. I should have found it.

Yep, about 4 kms for 1m. :roll: But I love the walk out there. Very worth it on a nice day. A great loop can be made by going one way on the PCT to a spot near the high point, with a visit to Duff Falls if you have time.

Is this from somewhere near Mt Gell, perhaps Australia Tarn?

Looks like a nice spot to camp about 400m SSW from Milligans Peak.

Looking up at the track up Mt Murchison from a knoll about 1km SSE of the summit?

Pretty close to spot on - but still down slope from the knoll. Probably around the 850m mark.
I was very impressed with the fagus up there, but the weather was turning questionable so we turned back.

Near Hill 933, at the S end of Murphies Bluff, about 1km SE of The Citadel, in the Frankland Range?

Well, that's about the most comprehensive answer I've seen here. It is also 100% correct, although I would have settled for just Murphys. And I thought it might slow things down for a while... :roll:

Back to you, robi.
