I am obsessed with distance. There is a view near where I live where I can see a 1500 m mountain; I can see it between a gap in the great divide.

It is 120 km away. Australia is old and flat, mostly. To see this far is unusual. We don’t have any Rockies, Himalayas, Andes, or Swiss Alps. Tasmania is craggy, but it’s highest peak is a little over 1600 m. I have seen further than 120 km over land before (in Aus) but only when I have been standing on mountains looking over to other mountains. It’s 440 m elevation where I live and most mornings I see my mountain. This keeps me in check.

Great shots of distance Michael. I love that hovering shot of the mountain on the see- almost a Fata Morgana. and the first one is very special too.

Thanks Fran, I do have some fata morgana shots, but I had to fiddle too much to accentuate the effect. This was too false. Having said that, l did do that with the Heads pic.

Fascinating post Mick. I appreciate a good view but haven’t really thought about the distance involved. Love the first photo.

Thanks Ruth. Next time you go to Mt Wellington, check out how far west you can see. Take some binoculars.

True, we never have taken binoculars up there. How silly.
