Ok, OK, so there is no such word as bestest, but you'd believe me if you went to Mt Buffalo! It is my favourite place.

Mt Buffalo is a granite plateau that forms an outlier of the Great Dividing
Range (the GDR bisects Victoria and runs up the eastern seaboard of Australia,
through New South Wales and Queensland). Mt Buffalo's highest point is
1723m (I had better check that...), so technically, it is below the treeline.
However, due to the vagaries of cold air drainage, there are substantial
areas of alpine vegetation on the summit. In winter it becomes snowbound,
supplying entertainment for beginner skiers and sight seers, whilst in
summer, it provides numerous bushwalks and a cool respite from the baking
plains below.
Mt Buffalo is a great place for sunsets
and let's put another shot of a sunset in :-)
and for wildlife such as this little bloke caught napping in a crack
in the granite tors
and for waterfalls - this one is part of Dickson's Falls, but there are
other good ones as well such as Rollason's Falls.
and for pretty scenery
