Mount Bogong, Mountain summit in Alpine National Park, Australia
Mount Bogong reaches 1986 meters in elevation, making it the highest peak in Victoria, with three main trails leading to its exposed summit plateau.
Baron Sir Ferdinand von Mueller completed the first recorded ascent of Mount Bogong in 1854, marking the beginning of European exploration of this Victorian peak.
Indigenous groups named the mountain Warkwoolowler and gathered there seasonally for ceremonies and to collect bogong moths, a traditional food source.
The Staircase Spur route extends 16 kilometers from Mountain Creek Picnic Area to the summit, requiring strong physical condition and weather-appropriate equipment.
The mountain features distinct vegetation zones, transitioning from Alpine Ash forests at lower elevations to alpine grasslands near the summit.
