I always look for the waterfalls off that cliffline when I am on the boat.
You actually have captured them in your photo.

Right mountains - but you need to consider the order they are in - not the Cuvier Valley

En route to Gould's Plateau? Still down on the flat, I think.

That is probably close enough - but it is actually the Overland Track before we got to the Byron Gap turnoff. :)

That was my next guess! I didn't remember it being that narrow.

Clue time:
It's the northern end of one of the other main bodies of water in the SW. The speckie looking peak is a key (celestial) feature in determining our whereabouts. We'd passed another celestial feature in the boat that gave us access.

Is this a very empty lake Gordon looking towards the Pokana area?

Only from what i've seen of it and one other parties report. It's a complex looking thing though and I believe a bit on the "green" side.

Good guesses so far, I can see the resemblance to both, but no not on the Loddon range either.

I can see the resemblance there too Doogs, but there's not much buttongrass on that end of the Franklands.

You are however closest so far.
