Bewsher (1956-57) and named after Porthos, a character in Alexandre Dumas, père's novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.
The McCuddin Mountains are a small cluster of mountains in Antarctica consisting mainly of two large mountains, Mount Flint and Mount Petras, along with several scattered peaks and nunataks.

It was first visited in January 1957 by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher, who named it for a character in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.
The Burch Peaks are a group of peaks 6 nautical miles (11 km) east of Mount Torckler in Enderby Land.

Cordwell, a radio officer at Wilkes Station in 1961.
The Davey Nunataks are a group of seven nunatak lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains.

Mount Machatschek is a prominent, mainly snow-covered mountain in northern Adelaide Island, Antarctica, about 14 nautical miles (26 km) southwest of Mount Velain.
