Bit of a challenge since we can't go bush. Where is this photo (winner gets to go next). http://qrp.nz/system/images/6/IMG_20200319_172300_original.jpg Hint: the fenceline is the clue

Very close - and correct re Snowdon. However, if it were Kakapo, there would be another peak in front of, as you rightly identify, the Lockett Range. (pic is a little distorted by the very wide angle - about 150deg)

Mount Benson

Also close, SimdaBuilder, but no cigar.

What about Waingaro Peak?

That's the one; Kakapo just to the N along the Douglas and Benson to the S, back along the Lockett. SimdaBuilder - your go. Poor madpom, 3rd time in a row you've been close - it's becoming a habit !

http://tramper.nz/files/objectversions/28270/My%20Project.jpg Might be an easy one to guess... what hut is this?

Top Forks Hut in the Wilkin

Good one - did the upgrade last year, nice spot for 5 weeks :-)

Oh nice, I really need to get back up there, its been too long. OK, where abouts am I standing in this photo. Bonus marks if you can name the mountain in the back left. https://tramper.nz/files/objectversions/28271/DSC_0179%20-%20Copy.jpg How do you make the picture appear in the post?

At a quick stab. Somewhere in the reaches of the northern Routeburn/Dart area looking back towards Wakatipu across Glenorchy. Possibly Earnslaw on your left? Maybe Single Cone way off in the distance?
