Mount St Gwinear, Mountain summit in Baw Baw National Park, Australia
Mount St Gwinear rises to 1509 meters above sea level at the northeast end of Baw Baw National Park, featuring granite formations and snow gum forests.
Geologist William Baragwanath named the mountain after Saint Gwinear of Cornwall, reflecting the strong presence of Cornish miners in the nearby Walhalla gold mines.
The mountain and surrounding plateau maintain deep connections to Victorian mining heritage, with numerous landmarks bearing names from Cornish traditions and history.
The 8-kilometer return hiking trail from the car park takes approximately 4 hours to complete, passing through heathland and offering views of Thomson River valley.
A natural granite rock shelter at Gwinear Flat, located one kilometer beyond the summit, provides protection for hikers exploring the alpine environment.
