Kosciuszko and Main Range from the North Rams Head

Kosciuszko and Main Range from the North Rams Head

The shot looks best (and the caption makes sense) if you click on it to bring it to full screen size and then zoom in. Yes - these are the highest mountains in Australia: the Main Range from the top of the North Rams Head. North slope of the Rams Head at extreme left, with Mount Bogong just to the right very faintly on the horizon (a few hundred kilometres away in Victoria). Kosciuszko the highest peak in the centre (long sweeps of remaining winter snow below the summit, hanging above Lake Cootapatamba in valley, not shown). Mount Townsend peers out just to the right of Kosciuszko, then 'unnamed peak' on the Etheridge Ridge, Carruthers Peak (with two dots of snow) in the distance and the very rounded Mount Twynam (with two patches of snow to the right of the peak) before the upper Snowy River valley drops away to the north. Abbott Peak not shown. On a plain in the foreground right, the metal 'highway' (complete with children on pushers and intepretative signs) from the top of the Thredbo skifields to Australia's highest peak can be made out (December 2005 - and great to be over 2000m during that heat wave). Here's the challenge - my parents are somewhere in this photo (they always seem to follow me to high places...), standing together in their blue and maroon japaras - those so inclined can get out their magnifying glasses and if anyone can find them, I will change my profile photo to an absolute shocker of me lying on top of the Acropolis in Tasmania. Good luck.
