Wilsons Peak, Mountain summit in Scenic Rim Region, Australia.

Located at the intersection of the Great Dividing Range and McPherson Range, Wilsons Peak rises to 1,230 meters above sea level in Queensland.

Captain Patrick Logan, commander of the Moreton Bay penal settlement, selected the name of this mountain to recognize the contributions of his colleague.

The Aboriginal people named the peak Jirramen, translating to knee in their language, based on the mountain's summit shape resembling a human knee.

Visitors can access the summit through eastern or western routes, following the Darling Downs-Moreton Rabbit Board fence that marks the state border.

The mountain's volcanic rock formations support specialized communities of orchids and moss species, protected within both Main Range and Koorelah National Parks.
