I don't know where this is but, what did you "cook" for tea that night.
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

and absolutely right! It's Cooks Beach ... which was named after a farmer named Cook, and not after Cap'n James (for a change).

Back to Bap, or whoever Bap chooses,

.....more than 5 mins then, a clue,
the "mountain" in view is worth 1 point on the peakbaggers list, I am off track, so a name of the "mountain" will do.....

Ah nice one mate, dog friendly walks are kind of rare.
Hope they had fun & you got them onto their own Peak Bagging list now?
Ok, where am I sitting? (photo courtesy of MJD).

Yep, thats Coronation in the background Az.
I'll make you work harder SBS, this is actually part of a 'named ridge', the feature I am sitting on has no 'formal' name (tho has been referred to as the dragon).
This is just below the high point of the 'ridge' in question (which btw should have points on the PB's list as it's very spectacular & has an airy little summit climb).

edit: SBS, i'm probably being too harsh which I don't like being.
This feature, known as the Dragon is just below the top of Tribulation Ridge, day 3 of our Franklands trip & a scorcher (30+ degrees).

Over to you SBS...

It was Tribulation Ridge, Madonna Ridge is a little further along the range.
SBS - this kind of looks like the Denisons, but with that dolerite rock I'd say not.

You are correct. That is not the Stepped Hills.
However, no points. :)
A close guess though.
