Mount Baw Baw, Mountain summit in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
Mount Baw Baw reaches an elevation of 1,567 meters and features montane eucalypt forest, cool temperate rainforest, and snow gum woodlands on its slopes.
Baron Ferdinand von Mueller completed the first recorded European ascent of Mount Baw Baw in 1860, discovering and naming Christmas Creek during his collecting expedition.
The name Mount Baw Baw stems from the Yarra-Yallou and Gunna-Kurnai indigenous peoples of Gippsland, referring potentially to echo or ghost meanings.
The Mount Baw Baw Alpine Resort maintains 30 hectares of ski runs with seven lifts, primarily designed for beginner and intermediate level winter sports enthusiasts.
The mountain contains a late Devonian granodiorite pluton and receives substantial annual precipitation of 1,900 millimeters, supporting diverse ecological zones at different elevations.
