Mount Gibraltar, Mountain summit in Southern Highlands, Australia

Mount Gibraltar rises 863 meters between Bowral and Mittagong, forming a ridge structure with steep slopes and dense forest coverage.

The mountain's trachyte quarries operated from 1886 to 1986, providing stone for major buildings including Sydney's Queen Victoria Building and Australia's Parliament House.

The traditional owners of Mount Gibraltar belong to the Gundungurra people, who named this elevated landform according to their ancestral connections.

Three viewing platforms on the mountain summit offer observation points toward Bowral, Mittagong, and on clear days, the Sydney skyline.

The Mount Gibraltar Forest contains endangered ecological communities, recognized under the Biodiversity Conservation Act of 2016 for protection.
