Well, technically no, because I was heading in the other direction and just turned around for this shot, but I still have to give it. :wink:

Nice thanks!

Sorry about the quality in this one, bit of glare coming off the pristine water.... Where was I recently?

No one is biting. Bit of a WAG since I haven't been there - South East Cape?

Thanks Iluv.
Took a little while to figure I was looking at the Hazards - and it was hard to envision a spot jutting out far enough to get that angle on them.

That looks like Lake Myrtle from Mt Rogoona. But it seems to be not quite close enough to the lake. So perhaps off the shoulder/back of Mt Rogoona?

Yes SoB - this is on edge of the first ridge that you cross over / skirt around before getting to the main ridge line of Rogoona

OK, something a bit different. Not a lot to go on this picture, but I reckon somebody will still figure it out without too much trouble. There are a few hints in the picture if you think about it.

In which camp site did we rely on cask water last week?

Rock looks like granite, soil looks dry, you need to bring water, somewhere in the east of the state?

That's a good start. It is somewhere in the East of Tasmania.

See if we can narrow it down a bit with a clue... This photo of the draft-board shark was taken near the camp site just after some of the kids had been for a swim. (Whole bunch of extra clues there, if you think about it.)

All so close. But everyone has missed (what I thought was) the obvious one.

I guess the most obvious location could be Wineglass Bay. From my recollection there are rocks like that around the northern end and it looks like possibly a camp site near the Isthmus track. I don't remember one there but it was quite a few years ago. So I'll try Hawksnest Cove.
