GAME: Where am I?

[Geevesy]

I was thinking somewhere on Pedder. Is that the Franklands in the background?

[north-north-west]

Ahhhh, now we're getting somewhere . .

[pazzar]

Perhaps the bay to the NW of Mt Cawthorn?

[north-north-west]

West of Cawthorn is correct, but not north. The name I'm looking for is not exactly a bay either . . .

[Geevesy]

I'm just going to make an assumption that considering you kayaked it could be an island? How about that small cove on the west side of Crumbledown?

[north-north-west]

Crumbledown it is. Lovely place to spend a night. Interesting coastline to explore, too.

All yours, Geevesy.

[Geevesy]

Thanks NNW,

Where is this alfresco dinner being prepared?

Preparing a bowl in the Massif Bowl.

Could this be another one on Mt Massif?

[Geevesy]

It is indeed Graham

Vale of Rasselas on approach to Lake Rhona?

Vale of Rasselas on approach to Lake Rhona?

That's right, just after leaving Gordonvale.

[devoswitch]

Nice one. I enjoyed the walk into Rhona.
Which summit was I approaching here on Sunday?

Weld?

[Graham51]

I thought I could see a trig on top but it was a mark on my screen.

The shape in the background looks like Hartz Peak to me.

[devoswitch]

Yes, Hartz it is. Beautifully cold up there. Back to you Graham.

[Graham51]

There wasn't a lot to go on but I guess the basic outline was there.
Where was I here?

Looking west from near The Gatepost, Traveller Range

Is that Geryon and the Acropolis in the back?
Maybe near the Gatepost?

That's as close as I can expect. We were camped at one of the lakes just below The Gatepost.

[north-north-west]

Thank you. Good area, that.

OK, time for something a little different. The cover photo for this book was taken in Tassie. But where?

Intriguing
Will be a wild guess - but ignoring the reference to "Interior" mentioned in the blurb, I will start with the coastal plains of the West Coast looking back at Mt Agnew from the north?

[north-north-west]

No. And that isn't Agnew.

To make it a bit easier, I must admit that the shot was not taken anywhere she travels in the book. Not even close to it.

[stepbystep]

No. And that isn't Agnew.

Is the book worthy of it's stupendously good cover photo? What's that dog doing in a national park btw?

[eggs]

Still at extremely wild guess stage - but the peak does sort of resemble Rugby - soooo,
might it be along the Davy Track or even closer to the coast near Payne Bay.

[north-north-west]

Yes that's Rugby. Not on the Port Davey Track, however. But you're getting the right idea.

Photoshop can do all sorts of things, even shove a girl and a dog into an originally creature-free image. As well as make the image look a lot better than it really is.
It's not bad. Not what I expected. The blurb is all melodramatic, but the book is surprisingly realistic. And the author has either done a fair bit of scrub-bashing, or talked to people who have. I'll lend it to you next time we get together.

[north-north-west]

Oh come on, if we're looking at Rugby there aren't that many tracks from which you see it, nor many places where you see it from that angle.

[Graham51]

Is it looking back from the junction of the Cox Bight an SW Cape tracks?

[north-north-west]

Thank you Graham, that's exactly where it is. All yours now.

[Graham51]

I've been there a few time but have no photos looking back to Rugby from there.
Where did we camp with my grandson last year?
