Mount Hotham, Mountain summit in Victorian Alps, Australia.
Mount Hotham rises to 1,862 meters above sea level in the Great Dividing Range, offering views of surrounding peaks including Mount Buffalo and Mount Feathertop.
The mountain received its name from Charles Hotham, who served as the Governor of Victoria from 1854 to 1855, overseeing the region's development.
