I saw the road pic and thought Mount William, but it was said to be not. Tricked me! Is the NSW pic the creek campsite below South Rams Head?

Lophaphaps, the 2nd pic is from/of the Mt William Rd - but the range across the valley is the Serra range. The 1st pic is from the track between SheepHills and Mt William carparks.

As to the current photo - no idea

Thanks. I was there once, in a blizzard, in ... 1973. Still in NSW.

Correct. That was before camping there was proscribed. Two tents are just visible at the edge of the shore. It's a long way to drive and ski for just a few days of ice climbing.

My maps of that area are buried under a sea of detritus, hence the uncertainty. Cooleman Plains looking eastish?

Thanks. I thought the ranges looked familiar, and might have been closer sooner if I'd looked at a map. Still in NSW.

This is a frustrating one. I have stood in this spot before... Hut Creek?

Not Hut Creek, whichever one you mean. A lot of people have been near here. Many would have walked on the track.

I think I've been here too but can't place it. It does remind me of Chimneys Ridge/Mt Terrible along the Boggy Plain off the AAWT/Cascade Trail.

Is this the headwaters of the Tumut near the footpad to the top Jagungal?

I could be pedantic and say that it's looking at Grey Mare Bogong from the Tooma River, but you are close enough. All yours.

Behind Grey Mare Hut, Strumbo Range? The saddle-like hill is familiar, cannot place it.

You're in the general area Lops. That hill has a name and it's not Patrick Swayze.

Grey Mare Range, near GM Bogong? I have not been there in summer for ages. The track looks like the 4WD track that is now very close to natural after the post-fire regrowth.
