Oh, I just looked it up, wasn't aware of the name change! I wonder what the palawa kani word for it was..

That trout lake?

No. The longitude is very nearly aligned with Trout lake though

Shouldn't it be something like Dracophyllum Ouchifolium?

Yeh the persistent bit is at least right....

To get back to the game, my first thought was Steanes Tarn from the side of Picton.

Not Steanes, Getting closer though

is it lake burgess?

ILUVSWTAS wrote:Of course it is. Was the first pic I could find with the plant formerly known as richea scorparia in it.

eh? what? Has there been an official name change?

What about the other Richea species?

Why do they do that?

Yes, only announced a day or two back. The entire Richea genus has been subsumed into Dracophyllum.
Why? Probably because the taxonomists were bored and decided to mess everyone around. It happens more often than most people realise. For instance, both platypus and echidna are commonly so known because they were the original generic names given to them, and then someone realised those names had already been allocated to completely different animals (in both cases, some obscure invertebrate, IIRC).
As with fagus, we will still all call that *&%$#! stuff scoparia.

Ahhh, another "from where am I looking at Pelion West" shot?

expect more, i've been collecting them.

You bet!

I'll start the bidding with Oakleigh.

are you on spurling with lots of zoom?
just travellers range, spurling isn't high enough to look over.

the first bid was the best, Tortoise has it

Fanks. Next one:

So how hard is Lots Wife?

That was quick, Eggs! Not hard, if you follow the pad far enough around, even when it ducks down a bit - which is easy to miss when you're looking up.

This is the wrong gully:

This is the right one:

Is that you?!

Nope, but I took the next picture a couple of minutes later.
Sorry you didn't have time to visit Lots Wife the first time. Have you been back?

There's been discussion for some time. The official change happened a couple of weeks ago

This is the mega-fun I-can't-believe-I-climbed-that gully. Then you find the right one on the way down.

You rock monkey, you! You've been having me on all this time.

Btw is that Artillery Knob, Eggs? (And Lots Wife is well worth a visit. )

The peak is not Artillery Knob, but you are close. Click in on it to get a clue from what's on top.

Are you looking back at the summit of Hansons Peak from the southeast?
And that could be Mt Campbell behind? Which sort of lines up with one of my photos from closer in.
