GAME: Where am I?

[north-north-west]

It could be Feather. My examination of the relevant maps doesn't show anything else that even comes close to lining up.

Not Oana. Right general area, but still some distance off.
The spot itself doesn't have a name, but it's within roughly 1km of three things that do have names.

Here goes then..

The "waterfall" does not show on any maps - but I think it may be in the state aerial photo in the LIST - on the steep face a bit north from Eagle Lake.
I suspect it would rarely have water in it.
I think there is also water in view through the trees and that would be Lake Malbena.

A zoom in using the aerial image - and ringing the bits I think align with the photo.
So maybe it was from a few metres north west of my marker point.

It's possible NNW has found herself in a different universe. Perhaps Eggs or someone else should post.

Yeh I believe like many of us this week she's taken advantage of this weather and took off for a walk.

[eggs]

Anyone can post next then.

Close enough. Maybe we should always insist on that sort of answer.

And apologies. Forgot to organise a proxy when I nipped out for a walk.

Lets try a new one

I think you are on Little Sugarloaf looking at Goulds Sugarloaf with the Cheyne Range, Mt Hugel and Mt Rufus in the LH background. Your gps coordinates would be approximately 167431

[eggs]

I believe the cairn marks the top of the Little Sugarloaf.
But I am not going to check the coord reference.

[Last]

I wouldn't, it's an estimate only. Next, apologies for the quality of the photo.

Not much to work with here regardless of quality (which seems ok to me incidently)

Random guess at the mountain profile, Tor or Black bluff?

[Last]

I see the similarity but wrong end of the state

[eggs]

Looking at Collins Bonnet?

[Last]

Yes, but "where am I". Coordinates not required

[eggs]

Chapel Fire Trail?

[Last]

No, that would be in the picture

[RicktheHuman]

Mt Direction?

[Last]

too far north

[johnw]

Below Tom Thumb?

[Last]

Mt Direction was much closer. Tom Thumb is just out of shot

[RicktheHuman]

The angle looks as though you are on high ground, so it's gotta be somewhere in the Meehan Range? Rocky Tom?

[Last]

The angle is deceptive then. I make the altitude to be about 30m. Mt Direction was closer

[johnw]

Shot in the dark - near Cleburne Point?

[Last]

Closest so far John. Wrong side of the river

[johnw]

Another equally WAG, I pretty much only know the Brooker Hwy through those parts - the open area in Rothesay Circle, Goodwood?
I'm assuming Queens Domain et al is too far south.

[Last]

You've given 2 corners of an roughly equal triangle. Try the 3rd.

[johnw]

Mmm, hard to find an elevation low enough - bottom end of Knights Creek Trail?

[Last]

Much closer before. the 2 corners I was referring to were the open area in Rothesay Circle, Goodwood and near Cleburne Point. This was an urban walk.

Sorry, away entertaining 4 y.o. granddaughter. If I eventually get this one it can be my Christmas present to myself. I remember on a visit years ago absent mindedly wandering up on kunanyi and missing a turn off, ending up well down the mountain towards Lenah Valley before the "this doesn't look right" light bulb went on. So, depending on where I measure from Queens Domain I'm getting somewhere near the Lady Franklin Gallery/Ancanthe Park in Lenah Valley, which looks just inside the urban fringe.

[Last]

Wrong direction John. You were about 2 km off with both your Rothesay Circle, Goodwood and near Cleburne Point guesses.
