Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[eggs]

Not on Mt Clear.
Mts Lovick, Clear, McDonald, Eagle Peaks and Buller all in view....[amongst others]

[GBW]

King Billy No.2?

[eggs]

I think KB's are behind the rain shower.
Not sure what lphps had in mind on the left - but Cobbler is far left.

[Lophophaps]

Eagles Peaks or High Cone?

[eggs]

Well both Eagle Peaks and High Cone are in view.
And strangely enough - the actual peak I am on has already been mentioned...

[GregR]

The Bluff perhaps

[eggs]

Yes GregR.
A bit of a circle in getting there - but the Bluff commands a central view of all these peaks.
Apologies for the degradation in the panorama when I had to constrain its size for posting [and my phone is not the best for photos.]

And I am not sure which peak Lophophaps thought was the Bluff in an earlier response.

[GregR]

This ones in Tassy

Where am I ??

Looking at Dover and Erith islands from Deal Island in the Kent Group

[GregR]

Yup

didn't think it would be that easy.

Over to eggs

[eggs]

It was quick, but not easy.
Tas + setting made me think of Flinders Is, but could not see any obvious coastline match.
It was only going wider on google earth I noticed some islands further North.

Next one is an aerial shot in North Qld.
Name the river and falls

Herbert River, North Qld

also a closer view

Herbert River Falls, North Qld

Saw some incredible footage here of the flood earlier this month. Its the Herbert River, but its been a long time since I've been there so the name of the falls hasn't come to me........ ( but I'll guess Herbert River Falls?")

[eggs]

And you would be correct.
I have been to the Blencoe Falls a little further downstream, but have only seen these from the air.

And I see what you mean about recent flows...http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-12/herbert-river-falls-swollen-by-floodwaters/9539648

[MountainMadness]

Yeah I sometimes wonder how such a gorge can be carved out of such landscape and after seeing footage like that can begin to understand.......

Moving back to NT, what evening ascent am I commencing?

[GregR]

Sonder?

[MountainMadness]

Not Sonder, right portion of the Territory though

[GregR]

Brinkley Bluff

[MountainMadness]

No but there is another 'Bluff' in view. Its not on the Larapinta Trail.

[GregR]

Gosses Bluff - that's my final offer!!

[north-north-west]

Does not look like any part of Tnorala I've been to. Doesn't look like Gillen. Looks more like Finke NP than anywhere else I've been, but I don't recall a tracked/named high point in there.

So, wild-arse guess . . . Zeil?

[eggs]

This is a tough one. I had figured it was not on the Larapinta, but assuming that is a setting sun [as stated] I will have a wild guess at Mount Razorback

PS - I think NNW might be right - the Bluff will be Haasts

I like your persistence Greg and you were flirting around the answer the whole time but I'm afraid nnw has the answer I was looking for.......

I was mixing it up and doing a night-time ascent of Mt Zeil (essentially because I had to fly out of Alice at 11am the next day and didn't finish work at Yuendumu until 4pm that day)

[north-north-west]

Nice. Wish I'd managed to get out there.

Staying the Territory. Where would you find this ex-tree (if it's still standing nearly 14 years after I took that shot)?

Yep its an all too familiar story - so many people come all the way from interstate (or even overseas) and go out and do the Larapinta which is nice and all (perhaps I've done it too many times ) but hardly anyone ventures over to Zeil. Its not too far from Redbank or if you want to drive close you can do what I did from the Papunya side. The mountain is practically untouched, a great climb and away from everything - my kind of thing! I was out there alone (no-one within 10ks, except a couple of inquisitive dingo's following me up until it became too windy for them) - added bonus was a full moon and a lunar eclipse!

Didn't know it was that easy from the other side. I always thought there were access issues with private landowners and the like, which is a big part of why I've never been up there.
Also my sort of thing. Be a great place to camp.

C'mon peeps, it's not that hard a shot to place. There arenn't that many places surrounded by ridges like these.

[eggs]

Initial thought was Gosses Bluff

[north-north-west]

Tnorala it is. All yours, eggs.

[eggs]

Lovely photo NNW
Where were we in Vic?

Morning on Mt Cobbler

No issues at all - Ian the land owner is a good bloke (known him since I was a kid) and always happy to let people through his property provided you let him know you are coming through and leave it as you found it.
