#6 A 53 km great walk
#7 This crossings climbs can be steep and the weather unpredictable
#8 The rush, the lifts and the food
#9 Fastest flowing in the world
#10 This clue is looking at you

When you find #9 please let me know.

ta, I'm up to 15 now

2,3,4,5,6,7,11,13,15,17,18,20,21,23,24

8,10,12,27 and 28 to go.
@ebf do you reckon @Stocky scrolled across the map forever to find them all.
If he did he is very patient.

That would be worse than a needle in a haystack I think @erniec. We dedicated the better part of an entire afternoon to googling the clues and scouring the topo map for the places.
We got 29. I'm glad I'm not OCD... Just one last d&%n bl##dy clue.. LOL

You are right have been going since late arvo too.
Some were a bit obscure.
Hint if after 9 it is a glacier.

@erniec hint for #10 it is always on the page...

@erniec #12 Usually the female is the loudest, not this time

If you haven't got #9 is not a river and its on the coast. If your really stuck flick me a pm but will leave any actual answers off here so people can give it a go first.

A few clues for the ones that may cause a bit of extra confusion due to some clerical issues.
The twitter post doesn't mention it but FB says 11-20 are Huts and 21-30 are Lakes
#10 requires the looking at the post the clues are in.
#19 is supposed to say Dusky not Dusty and has been corrected on their FB
#20 is at the correct named hut but in the wrong island so if its not at the hut you thought
#21 #22 could be confused with each other and #22 and #27 could also be confused.

Nope used the search function once I figured out the clues to jump to the appropriate clues although I did spend a stupid amount of time searching the Chatham for a clue.
