Are you on Mount Northcote, with Guthega off in the distance?

Not on Northcote, but close.

I can only think on the western side of Mt Clarke, but thats very close to Northcote. I'm not sure how pedantic this thread is.

The poster decides consistent with the game rules but can be generous at their own discretion, and I often am. Anyway yes you are correct, I'm on Mt Clarke overlooking the Kunama Hutte site just out of view to the left. While fairly close together they're clearly separate peaks (hills really) with high points about a km apart with individual names so I think it's reasonable to ask for specific identification for this one. Back to you.

All good, I'm new to this game.
I'm on a named peak. What is it?

I recognise those rocks, so it's one I've been on. But that doesn't necessarily limit the field a great deal.

ps: you're supposed to name the state/territory.

Mt Scabby it is. Mt Kelly in the distance. The rock formation indicates the NSW-ACT border.

Might be related to the celebrations earlier this week for those who like the colour green. Or someone in a hurry.

That's it. Its quite a steep walk down to the creek, and they used to hold an Everest event every year, where you'd walk the equivalent vertical of Mt Everest.
