Mount Franklin, Mountain summit in Brindabella Ranges, Australia.
Mount Franklin reaches an elevation of 1,646 meters within the Bimberi Nature Reserve and Namadgi National Park, forming part of the border between Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales.
The mountain received its name from the Franklin family, with author Miles Franklin having lived at the nearby Brindabella Station during the early twentieth century.
The Canberra Alpine Club established skiing activities in the 1930s, constructing a road and ski chalet that served winter sports enthusiasts until 2003.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked walking trails from Mount Franklin Road, with cross-country skiing opportunities available during winter months depending on snow conditions.
The 2008 shelter, designed by University of Adelaide students, replaced the original chalet destroyed in 2003 bushfires and now functions as an interpretive center.
