Talk:Dandenong Ranges

message: The summits section appears to have been created using the altitudes given in the Melway directory maps, where small cross-hairs are given with a number beside them. There are a couple of issues with this approach: 
# Melway, whilst a fine street directory, is not a topographic map.
# A number of these altitudes are given for locations that are not actually summits on the Dandenongs ridgeline, but rather saddle points. For example the "Sherbrooke Summit—488m" appears to be based on Melway Ref 75 C1, but this is actually the saddle between Dunns Hill and the ridge before the Sassafras saddle (Refer to a map with topographic data to verify this, such as https://maps.land.vic.gov.au/lassi/ or MapShareVic http://mapshare.maps.vic.gov.au/MapShareVic/index.html?viewer=MapShareVic.PublicSite&locale=en-AU)
# Several of these names are local names, and not in the official VICNAMES database - should this be distinguished?
I would propose replacing this list with a list using heights from Victorian Government Survey Mark Enquiry Service (https://maps.land.vic.gov.au/lassi/SmesUI.jsp) which is the best source I can locate, or from the contours if there is no available survey mark.
* Mount Dandenong — 630m [DANDENONG ECC J survey mark]
* Mount Corhanwarrabul — 612m (Burkes lookout and location of transmission towers) [per contour data]
* Olinda peak - 592m (Range Road, Olinda - named Mt Olinda in older tourist maps) [per contour data]
* Sassafras peak - 538m (Coolongatta Road, Sassafras) [per contour data]
* Dunns Hill — 562m [per contour data]
* One Tree Hill - 500m [per contour data]
* Tremont Hill - 395m [per contour data]
* Chandlers Hill - 405m [per contour data]
* Johns Hill - 419m (Ridge Road, Kallista) [JOHNS HILL ECC 1986 survey mark]
* Black Hill - 374m (Black Hill Reserve, Selby) [per contour data]
* Upwey Hill - 278m (Belmont Street, Upwey) [per contour data]
* Lewis Hill - 298m (Queens Road, Silvan) [per contour data]
* Nobelius Hill - 320m (Ambrose Street, Emerald) [per contour data]
* Mount Morton - 275m (Belgrave South) [MORTON ECC A survey mark]
Would this be better as a table?
