Should have recognised that blasted tea-tree scrub around the lakeshore. Spent long enough in it. :roll:
No lake here, but still a nice hefty landmark.

ps: How do I keep getting the first post on the milestone pages?

Yep. Descended through the gully off to the right of that shot...Quite a nasty little descent. Tricky route finding through there. I knew where you were for this trip though so it doesn't seem right to guess. :wink:

Looks very similar to the way I went up Lloyd Jones - only longer. Ohh, what fun!

And someone who hasn't been there gets it. Yep, on LJ, looking at good ol' Secheron. One day . . .

I reckon you are further east than that. Great Pine Tier perhaps?

Just east of Dixons on the high ground looking SE? Maybe Fanny in the distance.

Lake Fanny is in the distance but I am on a well known named high point between the first two guesses.

I think you're sitting on The Temple and I can see the track up Mt Jerusalem on the left. Looking over Great Pine Tier towards Lake Ada.

It's looking back over my favourite way to access The Walls.
This picture has to be on my short list of favourite places. Where is it?

That's right, Doogs. I've only been there in perfect weather conditions and I guess that's why I love it so much.

I think I can see PB and the Southern Ranges off in the far distance but if I'm right, I reckon you are in the Wellington Range somewhere, perhaps near the start of Northwest Bay River.
