Game: Where-is-it (Aussie)

[GBW]

Snowy River?

[Lophophaps]

No, but that side of the state. It's a very well known river, at least by bushwalkers. This part does not see much visits, quite rugged.

[peregrinator]

Mitchell River?

[Lophophaps]

Nope. West of the Mitchell.

[wobbly]

Crolls gorge on the Wellington?

[Lophophaps]

Nope, but getting closer. Go north-eastish from here, and up.

[GregR]

Moroka Gorge perchance?

[neilmny]

Lops asked me to keep an eye on this for him as he went bush....err snow???? this morning.

That's it GregR. Take it away.

[GregR]

Oh dear! I’ll stay in VICTORIA.
Name this aptly named Hut

[GregR]

OK, hint time.

Hint 1: Needs a womans touch obviously.

Hint 2: very similar name to 2 very prominent Forum members -only one letter different in each case.

Hint 3: There is no hint 3. The other 2 hints give it away.

Prominent in respect to quantity of posts, years of membership? There's a lot of prominent members for a number of reasons.

SWAG ............. Razorback?

[GregR]

Sorry Neil that aint it,

As for the 2 prominent members, well lets just say one very prominent member from down south with a fine sense of direction in her name and one lesser mortal (ie: male) from Victoria who has walked a fair bit of the AAWT. This hut is not far from the aforementioned track.

Not that easy to find, and certainly nobody with a broom or sense of house-proud has been there lately.

[GBW]

NBW Hut! Lesser mortal????

[neilmny]

NBW Hut! Lesser mortal????

Now that's funny. Well done Greg.

[GregR]

NBW Hut! Lesser mortal????

lesser mortal maybe but a winner in this one Sir Gerry

Now that's funny. Well done Greg.

I try.

NBW hut and clearly the "No Bloo%y Women" has been taken just a tad too seriously- it's a pigsty inside.

Quite lovely with the snow around the outside though.

Go GBW

[GBW]

Thanks Greg. I have NBW in the GPS but haven't been there yet. Needs some love by the looks. Staying in Vic...

[neilmny]

Lots of Candleheath there, somewhere on the Baw Baw plateau?

[GBW]

That'll do neilmny. The view west from Phillack Saddle.

[neilmny]

That'll do neilmny. The view west from Phillack Saddle.

I was almost going to nominate that location but couldn't quite pick if it was Baw Baw summit on the other side.

This one is Victoria and should be really easy.

[neilmny]

Hint............was originally named a different name.

[peregrinator]

Ah, yes, now I recognise it -- Jaimathang.

[neilmny]

Bingo....all yours peregrinator.

[peregrinator]

Bingo....all yours peregrinator.

Oops, for a proper bingo I should have checked the spelling of the Jaitmathingos.

Next, what peak am I about to climb in South Australia?

Approaching Mt Chambers, North Flinders Ranges

[jonnosan]

is that in the breakaways?

[peregrinator]

No, not in Kanku-Breakaways CP, jonosan.

[peregrinator]

Southeast from there.

[eggs]

Might be a view of Mt Warren Hastings again?

[peregrinator]

Eggs, you're getting much closer. This distinctively shaped peak can be seen from Mt Warren Hastings.

[eggs]

Well - the only notable flat topped peak I know out that way is Mt Chambers - but this looks like it would be in the gullies to the south.
Is that the approach you used to climb it?
I was of the understanding that from the car park you would scramble through the cliff line?

[peregrinator]

Yes, eggs, it is indeed Mt Chambers. I went south-ish skirting West Chambers Creek (starting about two kilometres west of the car park at the end of the road), then went east-ish up onto the ridge before a scary-ish bit up to the top.
