Mount Piddington, Mountain summit in Blue Mountains, Australia.

Mount Piddington rises 1,094 meters above sea level, offering views across the Kanimbla Valley through the surrounding eucalyptus forest.

William Richman Piddington, a colonial treasurer under Henry Parkes, cleared trees from the summit before April 1871 to create viewing points.

The mountain, known as Wirindi in Aboriginal language, holds deep connections to Indigenous communities who maintained relationships with this land.

Multiple bushwalking tracks start from Mount Piddington Road, leading to caves and climbing areas with restroom facilities at the summit.

The mountain features Janicepts, a climbing route that became Australia's most challenging ascent when Mike Law completed it in 1973.
