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
They are on the Facebook page. Will copy them for you shortly.Quote:

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.Quote:

Mind you found one earlier today that I am pretty sure wasn't on the map yesterday.
But a great time filler.
