Clue 6: "Getting There"

Clue 7:

Blue mountains near Sydney ? (after reading couple of german blogs )

It looks too high to be in the Blue Mountains (which aren't really mountains, it's more of a canyon system).

It also looks too high to be in Wilson's Prom, what would have been my best guess, before clue 5. It also looks quite prominent, not very typical of Australian mountains...

Not sure what to make of the other clues..

But it's an interesting one so far!

Oh hang on I think one of the clues is a pretty clear one regarding in which state we have to look

Sterling Range?

Sorry for the slow response--we have to sleep sometime here

Not the Blue Mountains. Gert's on the right bush track ... Sterling Range it is (well, actually, Stirling Range--his misspelling tells me he understood one of the clues perfectly). And you have a few clues to tell you which one of them it is ...

Clue 8 (comes after something in clue 7)

8/2 in meter?

gert is the man! Toolbrunup, 1052 meters. Clue solutions to follow.

Toolbrunup, one of the highest peaks in Stirling Ranges National Park, Western Australia. It's a spectacular summit in a very pretty range.
First picture: view from summit
Clue 1: A granite dome in the nearby Porongurup Range. As I recall you can see the Stirlings from the Porongurups.
Clue 2: The rock "chair" on the top of Toolbrunup
Clue 3: Painting by James Drummond. Two other James Drummonds (one a Scottish botanist, the other his son and a politician) have very strong connections to Western Australia. The elder Drummond climbed Toolbrunup in the early 1800s.
Clue 4: The mark used in Britain for "sterling" silver (Toolbrunup is in the Stirling Range)
Clue 5: A picture of Toolbrunup
Clue 6: On the route to the summit
Clue 7: For "tool"
Clue 8: For "run up" (the picture is from a mountain race in Alaska)

Hah nice one, interesting mountain. It looks very prominent for Australian standards.

I thought clue 4 was the welsh logo thingy (don't they have a similar beast?) and thought it meant the peak was located in New South Wales! I've been surfing Google Earth the whole day a few thousand kilometers too far to the east

I'll tack it onto my Aussie wish list

Sounds like the kind of wild goose chase I usually go on with these quizzes. Yes, now that you mention it, the Welsh do have a skinny lion thingy, don't they?

Well you still get a lot of credit for spotting eucalypts in the very first clue--on my screen, at least, they just look like green blobs ...
