Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 6:42 amLooks like the Valentine river near Mawsons hut.
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 7:29 amZapruda, indeed it is. A week or two ago there was a pic in this thread looking down at the crossing, and there's a fairly common pic looking northish along the river to Jagungal. This is a good place to cross boots dry in most years when coming from Cup and Saucer et al.

Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 9:16 amIts a beautiful area for walking and skiing.
I think that valley is the national headquarters for the highland copperhead. Without fail, every time I have been through there I have seen one or three... Winter excluded of course.

Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 9:49 amA bit of guesswork as I haven't been north of Gungartan and not a winter visitor - Kerries Ridge?
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 10:03 amYou are pretty close, John. This taken from a rarely visited ridge. What am I looking at?
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 10:51 amIs it Mount Porcupine?
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 10:55 amNot Mt Porcupine, unfortunately.
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 11:57 amFrom near Tin Hut (more or less) looking at the Kerries?
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 12:00 pmNo, but once again, not too far off.

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 1:33 pmNope, not Brassy.
A clue - You can get to the top of this ridge from Munyang power station. From it I am looking at what Mountain?

If I'm correct I've walked up that unnamed ridge. It has a trig on it and takes you to Consett Stephen Pass near the southern end of the Rolling Ground. So you would be looking at Mt Tate/Tate East Ridge.
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 2:41 pmThat’s not it unfortunately. The snow does make it look a little different, especially from this angle.
It’s Disappointment Ridge. What’s the mountain?

OK I'm now trying to remember what I could see (minus snow) from either Gungartan or Disappointment Ridge on the overgrown trail that passes the hut. I'm guessing it's got to be either The Granite Peaks or Dicky Cooper Bogong (maybe both?).
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 2:55 pmNeither of those sorry John. I’m standing on the northern end of disappointment ridge, off track and looking northish
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 3:07 pmIt must be Gungarten then (hopefully.... or I'll be disappointed)
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 3:10 pmGungarten it is! All yours Tyreless.
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 3:26 pmCool - I've been up there but only in summer and it looks very different then.

Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 3:41 pmIs this near Gills knob and looking over Guthega river to guthega trig and the rolling grounds?
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Tue 30 Jan, 2018 3:57 pmRight part of the world. I'm actually standing at a trig.

Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Wed 31 Jan, 2018 7:44 amThis is killing me. is it near Granite peaks?
That snow drift looks familiar.

Zapruda has it. It's taken from the trig at the Granite Peaks looking NNE (I think) - I suspect Gungarten is in the photo, but I'm not sure.
Re: Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)
Posted: Wed 31 Jan, 2018 9:15 amGood one Tyreless. I love the Rolling grounds.
NSW - A little easier, name both peaks.
