Mount Cobbler is a mountain located in the Alpine National Park to the east of Mansfield in north-eastern Victoria, Australia. [2] Its summit rises to 1,628 metres (5,341 ft) above sea level. [1] [3] The peak and surrounding Cobbler land system are composed of sedimentary rocks ( conglomerate, red sandstone, siltstone and shale), dating to the Lower Carboniferous period, some 359 to 318 million years ago. [1]
Nearby Lake Cobbler, which has a camping area, is accessible by a four-wheel drive track. [3] From there is a walking track to the summit, and another to Dandongadale Falls, which drops 255 metres (837 ft) from the plateau and is the highest waterfall in Victoria. [4] The 5-kilometre (3-mile) walk to the summit is moderate to steep. [3] Surrounding peaks include Mount Typo to the north-east, Mount Koonika and Mount Speculation to the south-east, and Mount Stirling to the south-west. [3]
Tree species occurring on the surrounding plateau include Mountain Gum ( Eucalyptus dalrympleana), Snow Gum ( E. pauciflora) and Broad-leaved Peppermint ( E. dives). [1] Heathland, shrubland and patches of herbfield are found on the rocky escarpments, with species including Alpine Shaggy-pea ( Podolobium alpestre) and Mountain Beard-heath ( Acrothamnus hookeri). [1]
Annual rainfall ranges between 1,250–1,500 millimetres (49–59 in), with snowfalls regularly experienced in winter. [1]
