Mount Buninyong, Extinct volcano in Buninyong, Victoria, Australia
Mount Buninyong rises 745 meters above sea level and stands as a prominent landmark visible from Melbourne's towers and the Grampians region.
In 1837, a group of seven European settlers first reached the summit of Mount Buninyong, leading to the establishment of a 90-hectare public reserve in 1866.
The Keyeet Balug clan of the Wathaurang people maintained deep connections to Mount Buninyong, leaving archaeological evidence including stone tools and burial sites.
Visitors can access detailed maps of walking tracks and the summit road from the Buninyong Information Centre, with multiple trails available for exploration.
The mountain experiences an average of six snow days annually, creating winter conditions that differ from the surrounding Victorian landscape.
