I don't have one ready ILUVSWTAS. Have a go if you have one ready. I only found out about the track after a fellow walker mentioned they had been there. With Trappers Hut being 45 minutes from the start of the WOJ track then I guessed this was likely to be the one!! Your photo is almost an exact copy of one I took of Lake Bill Nik!

Im not sure that this peak has featured in the game yet either, which is rare....

There are a few clues in this pic. But I wont give any away yet as I believe it can be figured out quite easily.

Is there a road running through this shot, but out of sight?

It's possible SBS. FT and Hydro Tas have roads everywhere these days.

Ok clue time,
Look at the reddish coloured hill in the middle, where have you seen that before??
The peak at the left back should be identifiable???
There is a whisp of mist on the lower left side.... what could cause that??

My inital thought was The Thumbs. Lake Pedder could produce the mist...

I'm probably thinking in the wrong area then. Maybe this is from Druids

I think thats what Dan was getting at asking if Scotts peak road was underneath me, in case you missed that post though I'll say it again, Scotts peak road is some Km's from here.

I'm fairly certain the back left peak is Sprent.
Not sure about a red hill? But there is a lot of colour around Strathgordon.

Is it on the Coronets? Still not sure - but the wide valley and no road in view seems to lend itself to this

Yeah - I was giving up on the Coronets.
Still hard to fit - but maybe Mt Cullen?

Welcome back Eggs!! Yup Cullen, probably just over half way up. The red hills are the Twelvetrees, and sprent as you said! AMAZED no-one could recognise sprent!!
The whisp of mist is coming off Pedder which you can JUST see a fraction of water.

That was a funny guess - but it is from Ossa looking east

I thought it was too obvious to be right, and as you know I have not climbed Ossa yet.....

This one should be easy, i'd be more impressed if someone who knows where I am can tell me HOW/WHERE I may have gotten this nasty gash on my head.....

Scalp wounds always bleed a lot, out of all proportion to the seriousness of the injury.
Does look rather painful, but.
