GAME: Where am I?

[north-north-west]

Well, given that I'm only right 1% of the time if that, it seemed best to start with something that had the highest likelihood of not being totally, utterly and completely wrong.

It looks like a scrubby little beast, not worth the effort of climbing.

Next up:

[ILUVSWTAS]

Haha ok fair enough.

I believe you can get pretty close from the road/tracks to the west from Teepookana. But yeh it'd be botanical *&%$#! from there.

[north-north-west]

I love breaking the game. it really brings out my maternal side.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Well I guess we start south to north.
Are you on the wellington range somewhere?

[north-north-west]

Wrong option, and I've already given a clue.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Goddamn cryptic..... mother Cummings?

[north-north-west]

Mothher Cummings which?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Well it'd be one of the 2.....

[north-north-west]

Doesn't look like the rivulet to me. If you can keep up with changes in botanical taxonomy, you can keep up with older changes in geographical nomenclature.
Yes, I'm being petty on this one. What is the name of what I am looking at and, more importantly, from where am I looking?

[north-north-west]

Oh come on, it's obvious enough. I might just go and sulk for a bit if you're all going to be like that.

Mother Cummings Peak [I see they swapped the names?] from [not having been there its hard to tell how far away this shot is] perhaps the ridge line between the Head and the Peak? About 400m along at around 1170m high?

[north-north-west]

Thank you. The names haven't been so much swapped as returned to older forms. The Abel is now Cummings Head, which is apparently the oldest recorded colonial name.
Close enough; it would be somewhere around half a km at the most (and a lot of scrub-dodging) south. It's a neat ridgeline with some lovely views and rockpiles.

Thanks NNW [and Iluv]

Next

Mt Maconochie from Mt Hesperus

[ILUVSWTAS]

That's a cool pic. Nice off track ridges there .. wild guess, McCutcheon?

[eggs]

251m higher than McCutcheon and it has a lake directly under it.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hmmm 958m huh...

[Last]

Mt Maconochie seems to fit the clues. Were you standing on it or are you looking at it?

[eggs]

Its in view - so where was I?

[Last]

Mt Hesperus?

[eggs]

Correct- we were on Mt Hesperus

Thanks eggs. Next

hill number 1

[ILUVSWTAS]

Rogoona?

[Last]

looong way from either of those

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hmmm maybe one of those dull NE things then. Saddleback?

[Last]

not saddleback, but you're on the right track. Can't see PW from here

[north-north-west]

Ben Nevis?

[ILUVSWTAS]

not saddleback, but you're on the right track. Can't see PW from here

just another reason that region is a bit uninspiring.

[Last]

Correct NNW

not saddleback, but you're on the right track. Can't see PW from here

Not much point going there

[icefest]

I'm really enjoying the PW banter!
