Yes - I will have to agree.
We also were heading west on these slopes, but I guess I was noticing that it is a location south from the top.
Our actual path was south to the small tarn and then west out onto the slopes.

Yes, or the definition of quick is a generous one :wink:. FWIW I haven't been up there (a walk I'd like to do at some point) but found enough related images that I reckon you're correct. Love the rainbow in the middle of that shot.

Apologies - I was stuck working all weekend and forgot about this. You were correct anyway!

Then it has to be Barrow. Knew there was something else up that way with towers like that, but forgot about it at first.

Barrow is the place. Had a memorable time up there - saw about 4 wedge tailed eagles, including one on the road as I drove up.

Another one I've been meaning to get back to but not made it yet. It would be good to explore further along the top than just the summit ridge.

Where did I encounter this bit of atmospheric ominousness?

Nice to see the Dial Range in a shot. It has been a while.
Not sure your zoom power, but maybe Bakers Beach?

I was hoping for a bit more precision, but Bakers Beach will do. It's at the beach end of the Archers Knob track.

It was a great photo.
I have not been there, but I was thinking it was from et more northern end of the beach.

Next one - this is a minor fall before the major fall.

I just knew it all as Liffey Falls. Over to you.

PS - the Lower Liffy Falls are in 3 sections - a spout, followed by the cascades in my photo, followed by the largest bench drop at the bottom.
But I am presuming you did not mean the Upper Liffey Falls near the edge of the plateau? [which I have not been to]

All of the drops at (Lower) Liffey Falls are named - Alexandra Falls, Hopetoun Falls, Albert Falls and Victoria Falls.
Sometimes, I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
