What is the highest mountain in Victoria, Australia? |
Travel Info The two contenders are Mount Bogong or Mount Feathertop Travel Tips Definitely Bogong. What does Bogong mean, I hear you ask. Fortunately I have an answer: Myth has it that the first white visitors asked what various features were called and were told "bogong" by the long term locals. What they were really being told was that bogong moths were found there (as they are). The confusion led the white visitors to think that "bogong" was a word for "mountain", or the name of the particular feature. Hence Mt Bogong, the Bogong High Plains, Dicky Cooper Bogong and several other features. Others Mount Bogong is the highest peak in the state of Victoria in Australia with its highest point being 1986 metres above sea level. Mount Feathertop is the second highest mountain in the Victorian high country at 1,922m. The highest mountain in Victoria, Australia that is Bogong (1986 m).
