Mount Remarkable

Mount Remarkable, Summit in Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

Mount Remarkable is a summit in the Southern Flinders Ranges that rises approximately 961 meters with distinctive quartzite ridges and mixed forest landscapes. The terrain features changing vegetation zones ranging from eucalyptus woodlands to open scrublands as you ascend.

Edward John Eyre named the mountain either in 1839 or on 27 June 1840, during his inland explorations from Adelaide. He wrote that "from the lofty way it towered above the surrounding hills I named it Mount Remarkable." The town of Melrose at its base was itself once called Mount Remarkable.

The town of Melrose at the mountain's base once carried the name Mount Remarkable itself, and the summit hike begins there. The 14 km return trail is graded moderate by the national park authority and takes about five hours. The mountain has lain within Mount Remarkable National Park since 1972.

A hiking trail from the nearby town of Melrose leads up the mountain, and the full round trip takes several hours to complete. Start early and bring plenty of water and sun protection, as the route is exposed to the elements.

On 3 July 1980 a Piper PA34-200T light aircraft flying from Leigh Creek to Adelaide crashed on the mountain in harsh weather; all three occupants died on impact. Snow has also been recorded on the summit, notably around 1890 when the top half of the mount was covered.
