You're right, I didn't. Twinge of regret over that, though it was the right decision at the time.

I felt the moraine was distinctive, but I am yet to get there.

Up Murchison, around the high ridges, down to Sandra. There was a star picket up on the ridge that I assumed marked the best spot to start the descent. Well, you know what they say about assumptions. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not the Acropolis, but you're in the right part of the state.

I've made a few of those in my time! We went the other way. Once we found the start of the track, it was easy to the lake. Then we had a bit more scrub than I think we needed to have. Not for long, though.

Not Massif either, but that's a tad closer than the Acropolis. I probably should have given you a bit more to go on. :roll: One of the lumps is an Abel. The other is an adjacent unnamed peak.
Of course, there are a lotta Abels around there...

I can't think of any cryptic clues, so here's a shot of us heading down to the said campsite, with another Abel:

Yep! Things to do on this glorious day. (And over 24 hours on one pic is boring. :wink: ) Yep, it was Perrins Bluff from Leonards Tarn.

Yes, looking up at Cathedral Rrock from the end of the Pipeline Track.
It wasn’t people I was dodging, it was a low-flying lyre bird that nearly knocked me off my bike.
