Distances between the peaks/rivers

Hi all,

For what it's worth, I tried to work out some distances w a piece of string and the contour Kanangra map.

* Coxs/Kanangra Creek Junction to Guouogang up the Guouogang Ridge = c. 6.4km.
* Guouogang to Whalania Creek (via Nooroo Buttress) = c. 2.9km. Walk downstream c. 300m. Then cut straight up and meet the spur:
* Whalania Creek to Paralyser = c. 2.9km
* Paralyser to Thunder Bend = c. 2.5km
* Thunder Bend to Roar = c. 3.15km (again, heading up to meet the spur, and keeping to the right side of Marooba Karoo).
*Roar to Cloudmaker = c. 0.45km

So in total c. 18.6km. (From Guouogang to Cloudmaker, it's c.12.2km).

I hope those calculations aren't completely inaccurate - please correct me if I'm wrong about anything above, or unclear..
