GAME: Where am I?

[Son of a Beach]

Another wild guess then if nobody else is going to "Pig Trough"

looks like a small creek running in on the left but so many features match this on the maps?

That's it. You're turn shazcol.

This is Rock Island Bend, made famous by Peter Dombrovski's photo. I was standing on the rock island when I took that photo. Below is a photo of the rock island taken from next to the rapid that was featured in the "Where Am I?" photo. The creek coming in on the left is Pig Trough Creek, the rapid is also referred to as "The Pig Trough", and was a compulsory portage for us (which is why the rafts are on the rocks and not in the water).

(Just for the sake of completeness, the 4 named features I referred to in the earlier post are: Pig Trough Creek, the Pig Trough rapid, Rock Island Bend, and the rock island).

Awesome Nik, looking forward to the trip report and how you found it.

I will accept the name of the feature in view or where I am standing to take it?

Looking South from Hamilton Craggs over Ossians Throne to Lake Baker and Sphinx Bluff

It looks Southern Ben Lomond-ish, and perhaps the horizon is the Great Western Tiers.....
Are you looking at Sphinx Bluff?

Yes Nick that is Sphyinx Bluff in the background. I am on Hamilton Craggs looking over Ossians Throne. Ossians Throne (iluminated) is what I picked out for the picture but forgot about the background. You can just see Lake Baker as well.

Over to you.

[NickD]

Sorry folks. Computer isn't behaving. I pass the floor to someone else...

[Graham51]

I will step in.
Where am I?

Looking over Daisy Lake South

[Graham51]

That's right Eggs. We were crossing Richea Ridge from Long Tarns to Daisy lakes. You can see Mt Jerusalem on the left and other parts oif The Walls among the clouds.

Anyone else can post.

[Swifty]

[Graham51]

Clifton Beach.
Nice photo.

[Swifty]

that's right graham, on a strangely foggy winter's day. it's a nice spot.

[Graham51]

Thanks. Next - Where am I?

[Swifty]

looks to be tasman island from cape pillar

[Graham51]

It does look like that and it is.
It also looks like we're the only two playing at the moment.
Your turn.

[Swifty]

Something like this may have been posted before.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Are you at the Splits Swifty??

[Swifty]

Correct ILUV.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Lucky guy having been there!!

[Swifty]

Lucky guy having been there!!

er...Third Splits I think is the name of the dam site (correct me if I'm wrong), where this is taken from. Haven't been to the splits downstream yet...
Cheers!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Gosh the games gone quiet last few months.. no guesses?? Anyone??? anyone?????

[frenchy_84]

looks like u went the soft way

[ILUVSWTAS]

looks like u went the soft way

Some may say the smart way.

[pazzar]

I was hoping someone would get it by now. I'm assuming these are the cliffs on Pelion West. The boulders aren't that big.....

[ILUVSWTAS]

Correct Pazzar. You better not post a pic I may have seen on FB or i'll pay you back for that......

[pazzar]

Ha I hadn't even seen that on FB, but I'll try not to. Just trying to keep the game moving.

[stepbystep]

Is that from Little Horn?

[pazzar]

It sure is

[stepbystep]

It sure is

Didn't get views that way....next one then

[Graham51]

Well I think I have seen pictures of Lodden Bluff with that pinnacle thing on the end, which is on the left hand side and I am reasonably confident that Frenchmans Cap is behind it. Now I will have to hunt out a map to line them up and see where it might have been taken from. Let's try KWI for a guess to start with, otherwise I will be back later.
