pazzar, you have it.
Looking NE to Mt Louisa. (3pts)
The pic is from about 300m NE of the usual spot at Louisa Bay, where Wally found deep fresh water in Louisa River.

St Valentine's Peak from Hounslow Heath?
The road over the ridge in the distance is probably the Cradle Development road

Edit - that is wrong - there is a hut in the bottom right corner. Probably from Mt Campbell?

Wrong again - just looked at a photo from Marian's lookout and it look a better fit.
The hut would be part of Waldheim Chalet complex.

Looking at what's in the water will give some clues

Not Lake Gordon - farther North - there are a series of lakes in this area - but this track is pretty steep..

hmmm is it a hydro lake? That would mean you are either in the Rosebery area, which it does not look like -or could it be one of the dams on the forth or mersey?

"Looking at what's in the water will give some clues"

I suppose it is the trees.
Was there date after which trees were felled before reservoirs were filled?
Or did it vary from place to place?

Not any beach I recognise SW...
Not Marrawah (Greens Beach) & doesn't looki like NE Tas (ie. North of St Helens);
must be on the NW coast somewhere I'd presume (looks like a typical Bass Strait wind swell).
All my assumptions could be wrong however...???

I'm thinking it might also be Bakers Beach looking towards Badger Head (headland)

The suggestions look pretty good - but the angle suggests he is zooming in from Point Sorrell - one place my wife has been where I have not.
