In Tasmania, it s spoken of in almost religious awe. Federation Peak, or simply Fedder, is the most striking and terrifying mountain in Australia, its intimidating summit rising like a spike from the remote and rugged Eastern Arthur Range, 30 kilometres from Tasmania s south coast.
In real terms, Federation Peak is far from the highest mountain in the land. It stands almost 50 metres lower than Hobart s Mt Wellington, and 400 metres shorter than Tasmania s highest peak, Mt Ossa. But in perception, no mountain in Australia stands above it, and with very good reason.

To reach the top of Federation Peak, you must enter a grey area between bushwalking and rock climbing. The final ascent is on near-vertical quartzite walls, with a sense of exposure unmatched by any other mountain that walkers can reach in Australia. Look between your feet on this climb and all that you see is Lake Geeves, a fear-provoking 600 metres below you.
