Bimberi Peak

Bimberi Peak is the highest point in the Australian Capital Territory, rising to 1,913 meters (6,273 feet) at the border with New South Wales. The mountain forms part of the Brindabella Ranges and dominates this alpine region.

The mountain sits on traditional lands of three Aboriginal groups: the Ngunnawal, Walgalu, and Djimantan peoples who lived in southeastern Australia for thousands of years. This region formed part of their ancestral territories long before European arrival.

The summit sits along the Australian Alps Walking Track, a long-distance hiking route that connects multiple national parks and reflects how walkers move through the continent's high country.

The hike to the summit demands stamina and typically takes three full days, covering about 53 kilometers (33 miles) round trip from Orroral Valley. Visitors should prepare for changeable mountain weather and steep climbing sections.

A large surveyor's mark stands at the summit, a trace of decades of climbing visits to this remote location. Winter snow covers the peak regularly, and powerful gusts are common at this exposed place.
