The Tawonga Fault scarp ...[w]ith a vertical uplift of about 700 metres, most apparently happening in the last few million years, this is one of the highest active fault scarps in Australia.
The hydrographic runoff aspect needs to be considered with proximity.
If there was a flood to just below the height of Big River Saddle I'd have to move, and the electoral boundaries would need to be changed. There would be a few other impacts.

I thought PCV was riffing on the fact that the name change wasn't unanimously endorsed by local first-nations people so whatever name you use, you're in the poo.

PCV google translates that as 'black mountain', which isn't at all offensive like the n-word. Could be a failure of google, or just some languages translate things differently?

If I say 'La montaña de la cabeza negra'/'La montagne de la tete noire'/'La montagna della testa negra/' Das berg des kopfs schwartzes' etc, I'm probably only being descriptive.
But I think гора головаы чёрная has a litteral meaning of Black head mountain, but could also mean the other.
Anyway, definitely way off subject...
Back on subject, I still think the Fainters & the Jaimathangs are the same range. But I'm willing to accept Mt Wills is not part of Mt Bogong.

I've never considered Wills to be part of Bogong. Surely no-one who has walked between the two would?
