I'd say you're right, the pic looks similar to one I have of Louisa Creek. But, what the hell, let's guess Faraway Creek in the unlikely event you're not right and my memory is shoddy.

Yes that stab in the dark was pretty spot on Caedo, your turn...

I actually think your picture Pazzar is Faraway Creek - that Tea Tree rings plenty of bells.
We had a very relaxing night at Louisa Creek - all by ourselves in the middle of summer. Unfortunately it makes getting to Little Deadman's Bay just that bit harder the next day...!

Bewdy, cheers Geevesy!
What were we tramping across on a typical Tasmanian summer's day?

For a bit of a clue, this would be a much easier location to guess if the clouds weren't there, as a very famous mountain is mostly obscured from view in this photo.

You might be on Speeler Plains?

Barn Bluff and Cradle from Lake McRae area? I've never been out there, so this is a wild guess.

Very close - but it could be a little more specific. The tarn is unnamed and McRae is about a km away from here.
There is a named place nearby.

A close look at my map collection tells me that the old hydro hut out there is about 1km away near an un-named tarn.
Are you at the Hydrographers Hut?
If so, how's the walk out there? I've always wanted to visit that place. I've heard good things.

I reckon you might be right there Zane. As a hydrographer myself it's shameful I haven't been out there yet!

Yes - this is the tarn next to the Hydrographers Hut [Hydro Hut for short]
The scrub does represent an entrance fee, but apart from a few path choices that were less than ideal, it was a straightforward walk.

Is that the King William range south of Slatters Peak?

I think it's looking at the summit of Slatters from the ridge leading out there. Good call.

Good suggestion Iluv. The back mountain appears to match Agamemnon

Heya Eggs, yes this picture seems to match some of the rock features.

It is! About 800m from the Philps Summit looking to Agamemnon. Great walking up there
Over to you.

Conglomerate, so the likeliest suspects are the West Coast Range, Thumbs/Clear Hill or Denisons. I shall start the bidding with Chin and Geikie (Tyndall way in back) from somewhere on Sedgwick Bluff?

Yes NNW your first impressions were spot on! Just below Sedgwick Bluff it is!

Lovely area. Pity about how it gets awkward if you pick the wrong line to climb to/from the pipeline.

Looks like Lee's Paddock's down there NNW, so it would have to be somewhere in the Castle Crag area?
