I’ll give it to you for Wineglass Bay. It is the large camp site at the southern end of the beach (where the Peninsula Track heads up the hill towards Mt Graham ).

Thank you Nik, only about a km out I guess :roll:. I've walked along to that camp site but ruled it out because I couldn't remember any rocks like that.

Let's stick with the vaguely obscure seascape theme:

No-one else is saying anything, so I might as well make a fool of myself.
It has a north coast feel, rather narawntapuian. I'm fairly sure it's not Copper Cove, but let's open with that and see how far off it is.

Never doubt your intuition NNW, Copper Cove is exactly where it is. I deliberately chose the least recognisable Copper Cove shot I have.

Well, that's a good take, because it doesn't look anything like any of the shots I have, or even anything I saw there. It is a lovely spot, though.

Another (hopefully obscure) coastal image:

Well, the rock and coarse sand remind me of Sleepy Bay. I don't remember a lagoon like that being there, but then I haven't visited there in decades.

Well, that didn't last long. Yes, Sleepy Bay. Winter, so maybe a bit more water than usual.

Sleepy Bay is a magic spot, and it seems to have embedded itself in my brain. I need to get back there (which should be trivially easy to do, but who has the time?!).

Next up...

Where was I being helped trying to extricate myself from the quagmire? So much for minimal impact walking.

And as you say it is an old scan, I'm going to offer up a guess at the old Sodden Loddons track.

No, I haven't been to Lake Judd yet. If the track is like that all the way, I may consider moving it lower down the to-do list. :-)

That was the hint. Sodden Loddons it is. Or was*. Your turn.

*actually, probably still is sodden, but somewhat less churned up.

The Lake Judd track is only like the previous pic for a Km or so but it's more than enough.

The old Linda track across the buttongrass plains west of the Beehive track is still very visible on aerial pictures and on the ground despite not having been used for 90 or so years. The sodden Loddon will be visible for 100's of years.

Nice cascade Zane.

It may have been wild, but it was precise in its landing upon the correct answer!

It is indeed The Grotto, a delightful place.

Looks like the ocean side of Remarkable Cave, but from the cliffs to the west beyond viewing platform and how did you get up there unless the image is inverted or it's somewhere else which it probably is and sorry about the punctuation but I've just been reading First Dog on the Moon's latest and his style is a bit contagious

Or it could be the Gulch at Cape Pillar. Or somewhere else.

Nope, not on the Tasman Peninsula. But you're in correct quarter of the state!

Not for the same reason, I hope.
I had an extremely traumatic experience there as a young child, and I do not like to be reminded of it.

Still water but now we're away from the coast.

Ah no, I'm sorry to hear that. I used to go there pretty often and I'm surprised I didn't get it.
