Re: GAME: Where am I?

I had ruled out Stack Bluff almost as soon as I said it - no vegetation up high. But left it in to see if it assisted.

After checking photos I notice that there is a good band of scrub up the gully towards Sphinx Bluff.
Is there a track/pad up that way?

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Yes indeed there is something that I would call a very good track, a SUPERPAD if you will :lol:

Is Sphinx your guess Eggs??? :wink:

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Yes - I will guess it is Sphinx Bluff

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Close enough. It's on the track up to Southern Ben Lomond, Access to Sphinx, Pavement, the Knuckle etc etc, this cliff is JUST before the track stops at the plateau. It then ends and you can make your way to any of the above peaks in relatively nice easy open walking.

I call that track a very very good one, it is an old road for a while, then a pad up through the scrub/cliffs.

Tricky - yes, I was only thinking of the cliffline near the top, assuming the gully was the access route.

You'll have to think of some place you haven't been yet..... :roll:

Hehe ok, just thought i'd try to get precise.
I'll leave this one for someone else then :?

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Thu 22 Jul, 2010 1:36 pm

If I did that, I would be guessing on very few...

Hint - there are 3 named peaks in this picture

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Thu 22 Jul, 2010 3:07 pm

Are the peaks named Little Horn, Cradle and Weindorfers?

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Thu 22 Jul, 2010 3:56 pm

yes - you must know about where I am?

Can I clean up after Bap has done all the hard work? Does that break the rules? I think you're on the climb from Lake Hanson to Twisted Lakes.

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Thu 22 Jul, 2010 5:42 pm

Go for it Tastrekker - I suspect Bap would have given the answer if he was angling for the next post.

This isn't exactly a bushwalk destination but I love the fact that almost anywhere in Tassie you are only a short walk/drive from seeing nature at work in a spectacular way!

West Beach / Blackman Point - Burnie?
Being a southerner this is a bit of a guess. :oops:

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 10:36 am

Well done southerner! Yes, I'm standing on the West Beach boardwalk. It was a ripper surf!

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 11:36 am

Won't be able to contribute for a bit - a long drive coming up is a bit of an Achilles Heel for me at the moment

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 1:39 pm

LOL.
Yes, eggs is correct, Achilles Heel from Leonards Tarn

Hmmm ... "on the way there" :?: Maybe you're going "there" (?Achilles) via the west coast. So could it be Mt Murchison?

cheers

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 4:14 pm

No ... looked again, and reckon it's Mt Roland/Mt Claude area. I'd guess the latter.

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 4:16 pm

Not Roland Peter.
Those who have driven to Strathgordon will know this range - it's a great little tracked half day walk.
I have been up this one 4 times now, very nice SW range.

Re: GAME: Where am I?

Fri 23 Jul, 2010 4:22 pm

Funny that! My first instinct was to say the Sentinel Range ... but I was thrown by what I took to be Liamy77's hint.

So .. sticking with my instinct ...
