Mount Buffalo

Mount Buffalo is a moderately high granite mountain plateau in the alpine region of Victoria, Australia, about 350 kilometers northeast of Melbourne within the Australian Alps, its highest accessible point reaching 1,723 meters above sea level. The mountain is marked by prominent granite boulders and rock formations, particularly striking when viewed from the north, and its most recognizable feature, a landmark peak called the Horn, offers a 360-degree view across the surrounding ranges. The mountain and the national park built around it, established in 1898 as one of the oldest national parks in Australia and expanded several times since to its present area of about 31,000 hectares, were visited seasonally before European settlement by the Mitambuta and Taungurung peoples, who came to hunt bogong moths and hold ceremonies. This entity documents Mount Buffalo specifically as a geological formation, a granite plateau marked by prominent boulder outcrops in the Australian Alps.
