Interview Pinnacle

Postby JamesMc » Sat 13 Nov, 2010 2:05 pm

The Wikipedia list of Tasmania's highest / most significant mountains lists Interview Pinnacle at 1200m

See..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_mo ... f_Tasmania

Can anyone tell us where Interview Pinnacle is?

This page:

http://www.mountainsmounts.com/mountain ... -pinnacle/

also refers to Interview Pinnacle as 1200m. Interestingly the coordinates are pretty close to the one in the Norfolk Range that the rest of us think is only 508m high. Now, I wonder who might be right?

50 = Walled Mountain (1431m)

But I include things like Ossa (South Spur), Giblin Peak, Giblin Fells etc.

Oll and I agreed that south spur of Ossa should be included. It's quite a signifigant peak

I've been on Donaldson and I don't remember anything nearby that would approach anything like 1200m :?.

Oh yeah. It should be a named and noted peak in it's own right I reckon, 2 pts :wink: . Olls Bluff is a pretty good name I reckon.

That makes sense. The Norfolk Range is a part of Tasmania that I'm not familiar with. I suppose the 1200m altitude was measured in a helicopter.

I have long thought it should have a name; my suggestion (which I not yet submitted to the nomenclature board) is Connell Bluff given the long association the park of the Connells

Fair call... so, who's off to the Nomenclature Board?
