Mount Murchison is a mountain on the West Coast Range located in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia.
At 1,275 metres (4,183 ft) above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the range and within the top thirty highest mountains in Tasmania.[1]
Location and features
Lying close to the Williamsford and Tullah mining areas, the mountain is often found referred to in early photographs.[3] It lies east of Zeehan, and Mount Read,[4] and north of Mount Tyndall.
The geology of the ground around the mountain relates to the range of mining activities nearby.[5]
A popular walking track leads to the summit.
It was named by Charles Gould in the early 1860s.[6]
