Thanks Teak. Quite a few years since I was up there and in less than perfect weather... I dont think i'll ever forget all those false summits though. A good walk!

As was this.... where am I here? If it doesn't look familiar the name is pretty apt once you've seen it.

Great Pine Tier? I'd cry if I saw that many dead pines. Leaning (Ti)tree saddle? King Billy Saddle? Haven't any idea, how about a clue?

Sad scene for sure. Lots of living pines still up through the saddle. But plainly plenty of stags too.

Clue.... hmmm yes it has pine in the name.

I'm thinking Pine Tree Saddle, looking south?

Looks like a lovely evening. Hope the weather lasted for the next day.
This should be a bit easier.

No, you have a point there. Should have picked something with some more obvious landmarks.
Not Field West. Although there are similarities (apart from the dolerite). There is a track to this one and it is also an Abel. And I'm pretty sure you've been up there. This one doesn't have any forestry activity in its views.

Tend to agree with the acropolis. Cradle also looks similar.

Yes, it's the Acropolis. I should have removed that from the file name, shouldn't I? In too much of a hurry... :oops:

I believe you are bang on the money there. Weather was a fair bit different to the gale force winds, rain, and 10m visibility we had last visit!

Hill 1 without winds that want to take you over the edge? I don't believe it!

Close, but not out that far. This was on the way out to Cawthorn from the ridge connecting Helder. Close enough though last have a go!

Sorry, you couldn't be further away. The weather was ok but a bit windy.

Not really cryptic.
Other end of the island - with a very bare exposed broken white rock. Not many options for that.
Just needed to then check a shot I had from near there to match a bit of the background.

Next one

Great pic Eggs!
Nothing cryptic about the previous clue, I'm no DA.
A statement about the location and another about the weather experienced.
The real clue was the broken white rock. As Eggs pointed out, "not many options for that".
