Mount Anne

Mount Anne is a mountain located in the Southwest National Park in south-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.

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]
