Not Lake Ball. In fact an unnamed tarn.

Looks a lot like the tarn between Mt Hugel and Little Hugel.

This will be exceptionally easy for anyone who knows where I've been walking recently. But could be a bit tricky for anyone who's not been there...

:lol: Actually TdF can be quite mesmerising to watch. I'm more MTB than road cyclist but the scenery is often stunning, especially once they get up into the mountains.

Not Lake Bill, but that walk and this one are accessed from the same road and are sometimes combined into a circuit walk with a short car shuffle.

It's not on the main track to where we were camping, but just off an alternative but well used route.

Not Chalice, not Junction, not Chalice Chapter. This is off the well-beaten track, but not by much, and not the track you guys are all thinking of so far, but another track that can be joined onto it for a circuit walk. Actually, I'm not far off a track that is probably the second most popular walking location in Tasmania.

Feel free to guess... I know you know the answer. :-)

For everyone else, I walked through the Walls of Jerusalem track last weekend, including a commonly used alternative route in, which is not on an official Track, but which follows the official track for the first 45 minutes or so.

Tiger lake track is where I walked, so it was not solomons jewels. That narrows it down a LOT.

Yes, it is Tiger Lake! :-) So go for it, ILUVSWTAS. Or if Gerry gets on first, I reckon he could have bash too, as he sort of said it as part of his last post.
