A clue, this is a well known high point in the Northwest of the state.

Feels like Black Bluff. I say 'feels like', because I've been up there twice, but have no photos, and only vague memories. But as soon as I saw it, I just had a "Black Bluff" feeling. Then your hint narrowed it down enough to give me a bit more confidence.

Your feeling is spot on it is Black Bluff, over to you.

Paddy's Tarn being out of view put me off initially.

I'd be interested to hear where the Black Bluff photo was taken from teak?

The Black Bluff photo was taken from an old vehicle track that goes to the DPA mine site, it lies just to the East of Tiger Plain. The photo was taken from a point 100 or so metres before the fork in the track.

Given the great difficulty in determining which lake is which in the land of a thousand lakes, I am going to run on the assumption that this is from a place where SoB has written recently that he took lots of photos of the island.
So - perhaps Lake Lunka?

Correct Eggs. I thought that somebody would put two and two together. :-)

This photo is taken from the point at which I commenced my swim towards the island (closest point). I turned back about a third of the way there as the cold was sending shooting pain up my neck into my head. Maybe I'll try again on a hot summer day instead. I never did cope well with cold.

Ta, eggs.
Next one - which peak-bagging point took me out across the water on a lovely winters' day, with less scrub but more charcoal as part of the deal?

That's it, sbs. The dam wall is in view, along with recovery from the fire that closed the Mersey Forest Rd before the floods did.

It helps that I know where you've been with which watercraft.

This might be interesting - where was I on this day with extremely changeable weather?

A couple of km north of Pulpit, but that's near enough - one of the headlands accessible from Climies Track.

It is an interesting coastline along there.
We walked north from Trial Harbour for a short distance, but long ago when I was working out that way, I ascended through the steep slopes and found an old gold stamping battery in a creek bed.

Next one has a bit of zoom in it.
So a name of a peak in view will do. [But you can hazard as to my whereabouts]

I think doogs is pretty close. I would say we are looking Thwaites Plateau and Four Peaks from the track above bechervaise plateau.
