I plotted the Mt Montague walk but the site isn't mine :) I found it about a year ago when researching a very similar idea for a site (I'm a software engineer).

It is an awesome site with hundreds of features that aren't apparent until you dig deeper like exporting various gps/mapping formats for upload to devices, auto export of EXIF camera data for each photo you upload (and will also plot them automatically on your map for you if they contain lat/long info), auto plot maps from gps logs, etc.

Ah Yes. Mount Montague. I remember it...
My first walk in Tasmania was a day walk of about 25 km to season in my brand new Scarpa's in preparation for a Frenchmans circuit - from the Glenorchy tip (or close to), to the Longley tavern. Up over the back of Mt Wellington, over Mt Montague and Cathedral Rock, down and out to a road and on to the pub to ring my mates wife to come and get us. Wait in pub til vehicle arrives. Complete circuit by being driven back...

I remember bashing way towards Cathedral rock, then looking back to see the cliffs that we could just as easily have gone over had we come out there...

Ah, Longley pub ... the best roast rolls available anywhere (when there's a band on) ;)
