Hey mate, it's heavily cropped from a much cooler pic 8) PE is a little way away, but you're in the ball park.

Looks a bit like Ducane Range at the back and the side of Massif, so maybe on the ridge heading for Castle Crag?

You noticed a previous post - but no, you may have been deceived.
This was where we started and decided that night the weather was against us before retreating and travelling to the other end of the island.
We covered a lot of distance in our few days. Sprent a few days after that was a return to this same part of the island.
It is a very popular track and was my 5th time here.

Ah ha! Thought I'd know it if it was somewhere else. Gotta go, so I'll leave it to someone else to narrow it down.

Looks a bit like Rock Cabin on the Lenah Valley Track, but its a long time since I was last there, so I expect that's wrong

It looked familiar, but didn't match any of my pics, so I did a little searching in this topic, and there in was. Sorry you never got the lovely weather, Graham. Just a couple of days too late. :(

One of the great unknowns, that area. Hope it never gets discovered by the Instagrammers.
