Mount Napier, Volcanic summit in Victoria, Australia

Mount Napier rises 150 meters above the Western District Plains, reaching an elevation of 440 meters with a composite lava shield and scoria cone formation.

Major Thomas Mitchell named the mountain after the Napier brothers during his third expedition across southeastern Australia in August 1836.

The Indigenous peoples recognize this mountain as Tapoc, incorporating it into their traditional understanding of the Victorian landscape.

The Mount Napier Summit Track extends for 4 kilometers return, featuring marked pathways through volcanic formations and manna gum tree forests.

The mountain stands as Victoria's youngest volcano, with its final eruption occurring approximately 32,000 years ago, creating extensive lava flows and cave networks.
