Mount Alexander, Granite mountain summit near Harcourt, Australia
Mount Alexander rises 350 meters above the surrounding terrain, reaching an elevation of 744 meters above sea level in Victoria, Australia.
Major Thomas Mitchell first climbed the peak in 1836, naming it Mount Byng before renaming it Mount Alexander to honor Alexander the Great.
The mountain holds deep significance for the Djadjawurrung people, who named it Lanjanuc and maintained connections to this land for generations.
The Mount Alexander Loop trail system includes multiple access points with directional signs, picnic areas, and varied walking paths for different skill levels.
The southern shepherd's purse plant grows exclusively on Mount Alexander, as this rare brassica species has vanished from all other Victorian locations.
