Reminds me of the Organ Pipes, but none of yours are that easy.

Nothing musical about the name of this one, and it's a long way from kunanyi.

Not that far, but you have half the name right.

Still too far away.
This is one of my top five Tasmanian peaks, from one of my top ten Tasmanian helipads campsites.

Hmm. Is there a clue in there, I wonder? Usually there would be, but I don't get it.
Too hard to remember which wonderful mountains have helipads on them. Wedge does, but it's sure it's not that.
Can't get onto LISTmap for some reason, so I am stumpted.

Oh, and my photos are too poor quality to match up some of the detail on the cliffs, so I can't even work out which direction I should be going.

Ah. That makes sense now. But methinks still not my turn, eggs, because nnw didn't ask what we're looking at.

From Lake Ewart??

Someone else go if I've misunderstood, or if nnw isn't back soon. I'm probably out of action until tomorrow.

Given that the campsite/helipad is on the ridge just below Eldon Bluff that leads out to Dome Hill, Elldon Bluff is sufficient. So someone - anyone - should jump in now with the next photo.

Well I did help narrow it down I guess, so in the interest of continuity try this one:

Correct, I thought it would have gone earlier. Everyone must be out walking or Christmas shopping. Over to you Last.

Thanks John. I was surprised. It had over 100 views. Lots were looking but none would buy. Maybe this one.

Yes, dang it! I was hoping it would take a little bit longer.
Next time I'm really just going to post a close up picture of scrub in the mist. :-)
