Mt Feathertop VIC - a photo on Flickriver

Mt Feathertop VIC

My upload for a weekly challenge I'm doing with a group of Flickr friends. This week's theme is "fur and feathers".

In the total absence of having any suitable images depicting fur or feathers, I've stretched the boundaries a little and dug deep into my archives to find a photo of Mt Feathertop.

"Mt Feathertop was sighted and named in early 1851 by Jim Brown and Jack Wells, stockmen from Cobungra Station. While looking for summer pastures they became the first non aboriginals to systematically explore and name locations around the Bogong High Plains. They named the mountain after the feather shaped plume of cloud that is often seen downwind from the summit. They dubbed nearby Mt Hotham 'Baldy'. "

The traditional name for the mountain used by the Indigenous people who lived in this area is not known.
