Thanks Tortoise. My one walk to see those frozen falls up close in winter was thwarted just a few hundred metres short - the track was flooded nearly waist deep. In warmer weather would have waded through, but not in freezing conditions having trudged through the snow to get that far.

Easy one (I think):

Yes too easy Geevesy, a couple of kms SSW of Strathgordon. Serpentine lookout above White Spur Point according to LISTmap. All yours...

No idea really. I'll have a stab at Thumbs/Sawback Range from near Florentine Peak?

Ah is that jagged ridge the Eastern Arthurs? Placing you on the ridge up Pindars?

Thanks Geevesy. I recall an equally spectacular sunset from up there too. Hard not to enjoy watching the sun slowly sink behind Fedder.

What is the mountain in this terrible quality phone shot?

Apparently there are three wind farms in Tasmania. Is this at Musselroe Bay?

-The Ducane Traverse is one of my favourite places in the Reserve.
This tarn doesnt have a name but it is close to a rather large mountain.
The mountains name will do
