Mount Anne is a mountain located in the Southwest National Parkinsouth-west region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain lies within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tasmanian Wilderness.

With an elevation of 1,423 metres (4,669 ft) above sea level,^[1] Mount Anne is within the forty highest mountains in Tasmania, and is the highest in south-west Tasmania, adding to its appearance of prominence.^[2] It dominates the area surrounding Lake Pedder.

Location and features

[edit]

Although a primarily dolerite structure, it has a large sub-structure of dolomite, which contains an extensive cave system. This system includes the famous 'Anna-a-Kananda' cave — one of the deepest caves in Australia.^[3] Several cavers have been killed trying to explore its depths.^[4]

Mount Anne has a superb region of ancient Gondwanan-type vegetation on its north-east ridge, some of which are amongst the oldest surviving plant species on the planet.^{[citation needed]}

History

[edit]

Mount Anne was named by George Frankland after his wife, Georgina Anne in 1835.^[5] Henry Judd reached the Mount Anne Plateau from the Huon Valley in 1880.^[5] Walter Crookall and Geoff Chapman, members of the Hobart Walking Club found a way to the top on 25 December 1929.^[6] The long hike from MaydenaorHuonville became a day-walk after the construction of the Scotts Peak Dam Road in 1970.^[6]

A hut was constructed on the nearby Mt Eliza by the Hobart Walking Club in 1974 to ease access to the mountain.^[7]

Mount Anne is a common bushwalking destination for experienced walkers, the Mount Anne circuit is a 4-day walk that can include summiting Mount Anne.^[8]
