The list incorporates the peaks
listed under the Peak Baggers Guides (refs below) and a list of Abelettes and
other peaks that may be of interest.
Abels and Abelettes have a drop of 150m on all sides, the former being
over 1100m high.
The sources of information include:
1.
Tasmap publications.
I have done a first hand search of the 1:25 000 maps followed by a
reference check to the other sources indicated below. Most 1:25 000 maps are based on AGD66 or
AGD84 with a few upgraded to the new GDA94 (these are indicated in the
list). The new GDA94 causes a shift in
grid co-ordinates to the previous datum.
To convert AGD66/84 1:25 000 maps to a GDA94, approximately 112m is
added to the Eastings (+ .001) and 183m is added to the Northings (+ .002).
