So it’s been a month now with no webcam
Up until yesterday it was stuck on the 2nd.
Now it’s been removed from the Parks website.
Does any members know what’s happening with the webcam :roll:

Looks like it's back up.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

Getting better as the light improves. Sunrise down here was 7:39 am today and it's pretty foggy up there.

Sadly it has been 2 weeks now since the webcam stopped working on the 20/07/22 at 12:41PM. Why the hell is this happening, why don’t they fix it or at least take the webcam off the website.

Also why is it the same image as matagi’s post on the 12th of July. :roll:

Was hoping that the webcam gets moved to the new visitors viewing building,
so it doesn’t ice over for half the winter.
Does anyone know if this is the plan :D

While they're at it, it would be nice if they upgraded the current potato it to one of those nice panoramic 4K beasts, put a proper UV filter and sunshade over the lens to stop it flaring horribly every clear mid-morning in winter, and ideally provide a timelapse interface a la Inland Fisheries... so when I'm stuck at work every Tuesday morning and it's blue-bell conditions after a nice dumping of snow (it's always a Tuesday morning!) I can feel extra miserable ;-)

Seriously, being a decent tripod would almost justify that monstrosity. And the current camera is an embarrassment (and missed opportunity) for what's supposed to be Tasmania's most scenic and iconic view.
