You're all heart. But I can't place it. Looks more like KNP than Victoria to me. Unless it's somewhere on or near the BHP.

One does one's best to be generous. It's on the Bogong High Plains.

OK, I''ll try to narrow it down tomorrow. Right now I need a hot shower.

middle creek?

by **Lophophaps** » Sat 09 Jun, 2018 3:35 pm

Not Middle Creek.

Is this the creek below Ryders Yards?

by **Lophophaps** » Sun 10 Jun, 2018 3:43 pm

Not below Ryders, but very close.

by **north-north-west** » Sun 10 Jun, 2018 6:03 pm

Okay, another question: is that lump in the background Mt Cope?

by **Lophophaps** » Sun 10 Jun, 2018 6:50 pm

Not Cope. I'm facing approximately north. Look carefully just below the ridge and you should see a vehicular track. It's within 2 kilometres of Ryders Huts. There's only one place that fits this description.

I'd say your in High Plains Creek, looking up at just a good old 'lump in the background' (no name High Plains) with that aqueduct road just below the high point.

by **Lophophaps** » Mon 11 Jun, 2018 4:11 pm

Correct. This is the loop south of Bundara, aka lump. The management track in the pic is about a kilometre west of Ryders. This was as far as I got - it was very steep and rocky downstream. However, it's a nice walk down from Jim or the ridge and spur east of pole 290.

by **MountainMadness** » Mon 11 Jun, 2018 5:44 pm

Yeah I figured you were doing some sort of bush bashing.....

My full archives aren't accessible at the moment - will go with an easy one from nearby the last. Where is this bloke sweet talking his missus in an attempt (perhaps failed) to ease the fact he has ditched the family and hit the hills for a few days?

by **Lophophaps** » Mon 11 Jun, 2018 6:47 pm

Do we get a state? Could be NSW or Victoria. Probably not Larapinta.

Spion Kopje looking towards Bogong?

Sorry my 'nearby the last' comment was supposed to suggest that it is in fact Victoria. You are all close but no-one has it yet

Timms?

Crows Nest?

Should have looked at my photos - Feathertop looking over Fainters to Bogong

by **MountainMadness** » Tue 12 Jun, 2018 11:45 am

Your a little cooler than you were before eggs, but warmer than nnw. Sorry Lop can't comment on your Crows Nest guess as you have shown my Victorian ignorance (don't actually know where it is!), but your first guess was half on the money.

I have some zoom on the shot

Yes eggs has it - its on the summit of Feathertop (sorry you must have posted this while I was writing my last hint post)

The Fortress (Grampians)

by **eggs** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 8:58 am

Yes. This was a view from near the Fortress track towards the Fortress in the Grampians

by **bernieq** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 12:29 pm

I think I was just a few metres further along the track

OK, this is not strictly according to the rules (as it's not a skyline). However, it is in a National Park (Alpine National Park) - in Victoria. These plaques are just a few steps off the top of which peak ?

: just off the summit of Mt Selwyn

I don't know the story behind these but I guess it's father and son.

by **north-north-west** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 12:57 pm

Selwyn. I have photos of those plaques somewhere in the system as well. Although the typo really annoys me.

by **bernieq** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 1:07 pm

Well done - as it is on the AAWT, I figured a few would have seen them.

Yes, hard to get god help, isn't it !

It must be one of those "what you're expecting to read" things as opposed to what you are really reading but it took me ages to find the typo.
I almost asked for it to pointed out :lol:

Nothing worse than people who don't talk and spell proper. :shock:

by **Graham51** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 4:03 pm

Interesting - while discussing the typo on the plaque both of the last two posts have typos of their own,

by **neilmny** » Wed 13 Jun, 2018 4:09 pm

AAAARRRGGGHHHH the comma at the end of the sentence Graham :lol:

....wait, it's a comma, can't be the end.......more please!
