It wouldn't be hard to place a food drop. Depends on the route you take from the DuCane Range to the Eldons, but if you go from the Labyrinth, Minotaur, Guardians, Horizontal, Manfred, Cuvier, Goulds SL and across to Pyramid from there - or even directly to Tramontane from Manfred and then to High Dome either via the spire or down to the South Eldon saddle - it would be practical and straightforward to have a drop at Lake Marion. And/or at Pelion if you go via the Never Never, or Windy Fridge if you go via the MoJ and Gatepost.
ps: the traverse over Tramontane via Manfred and the South Eldon saddle is a route I've been looking at. Various people I know have done one side or the other of it, but going straight over makes for a lovely little loop. Goulds SL to Pyramid is a bit scrubby in places but I've been told there are still traces of the old track cut through there so it's not as bad as it could be.
