Y'know eggs, sometimes you take all the fun out of this. I was expecting to have people stumbling around various bits of Walls access routes for a couple of days and you have to go and ruin it all. I am now going to go and sulk over my lunch.

My humblest apologies - I was pretty confident that it was just a wild guess.
The only likelihood for me was that the background was the Great Pine Tier, but that could also be wrong.
I could only imagine that a wrinkle in the shore on the southern edge might be a match.

Let's try this one then.

It looks to me more like the view from a bit east and possibly south of Western Bluff, looking back towards Parmeener etc. Must have been up there fairly soon after the fires.

Close enough NNW, I'm on the edge of the escarpment south of Western Bluff (walking out from Lake Mackenzie rd) but actually looking towards Western Bluff itself. I think I got in just after the road re-opened, was a pretty sad sight. Take it away

Thanks. I was up at Western in July. It's recovering nicely, except for the pencil pines. Still looks pretty bad around Blue Peaks track.

Is there a track in the foreground? Somewhere on the Port Davey track?

Closeish but not really. While there is a track running through there, what you can see down below is merely some very old remains.

I am, however, walking along a constructed line of travel.

Maybe Moss Ridge? Though constructed might be generous. Is that the South Picton Range & Picton in view?

I am not on a walking track/pad. You can see Picton, but not the South Picton Range.

Almost. Very very nearly, but not quite. in a generous mood, I'd give it, but you still haven't been completely forgiven for the last one. ;)

Adequate. All that was really necessary was to mention the access road to the seismic station, but the map is a nice touch. I assume you've plotted that on the angle across to Picton? Very impressive.

Not Picton - but the rocky outcrop lined up with the larger hill behind

This would be easy on a clearer day
