Mount Buggery

Mount Buggery is a summit in Alpine National Park positioned along a ridgeline between Mount Speculation and Mount Howitt. The peak offers views across the surrounding mountain landscape and the characteristic alpine vegetation of the region.

A Melbourne Walking Club member named the peak during a hiking expedition in 1934. The designation gained official recognition on maps and has remained part of the regional geography since then.

The mountain carries a direct name reflecting the straightforward nature of early exploration, a tradition that shaped how Australians named remote places. Visitors encounter this original naming spirit, which captures the blunt speech of explorers from that era.

Hikers should bring well-equipped clothing and navigation tools, as the terrain is steep and exposed. Conditions can change quickly, especially during colder months, so proper planning and preparation are important.

The peak sits along a ridgeline known as the Crosscut Saw, a favored route for experienced hikers. Traversing this line connects multiple peaks and demands technical skill and stamina from those attempting it.
