Got it in one Geevesy. Was a rather cold night with anything left in the vestibule becoming frozen cardboard. All yours...

Wow that was pretty lucky... the only thing I had to go on was the rock type and a vague recollection of a gully near the summit that would be similar to the one covered in snow in the photo.

Next one I guess...

You're too kind.

Okay, where's Wally's tent?

No guesses yet, so a visual clue with a slightly different angle (and no tent, but it is from the same place).

Looks like central plateau. Not enough trees for the southern half, in the western tiers somewhere?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

We're getting there. Central Plateau, south of Mackenzie, but not Blue Peaks. There is a track not too far away.

That will do, Geevesy. About 200m southish of the Forty Lakes summit. Lovely back to that peak.

Obviously(?) small ones been dead for yonks.
Wasn't aware fires got across to there. Hopefully not.

No, they're long dead. No recent fires there - the big fire took out a lot of country around Lake MacKenzie, up past Parmeener to Western Bluff, northern part of the Blue Peaks track, down to the base of the northern cliffs on Fisher. Few spot fires elsewhere, but the worst damage is that northern area.
I'm just glad it didn't jump up the rocks on Fisher - that's a gorgeous place, with heaps of pines, multi-coloured scoparia, epacris, etc.

Thanks N-N-W. Good.
Agree on your reflections on the Fisher.

Might be from the Sarah Jane plateau - perhaps near Angel Falls?

Ooo.. there's a boardwalk is there?
Been 7 times into the Mt Anne area, but yet to get over to Sarah Jane and Lot.

Thanks. Last time I was up there I clambered down to the tarn closest to have a look before popping back up to do the circuit. Those long angled rock slabs are a little sketchier than they look (though a rather quick way of heading down and up)!
