Mount Gower
Mountain on Lord Howe Island, Australia
Mount Gower (also known as Big Hill ),[ 1] mountain on Australia 's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea . With a height of 875 metres (2,871 ft) above sea level , and a relatively flat 27-hectare (67-acre) summit plateau, it stands at the southern end of Lord Howe, just south of the island's second highest peak, the 777-metre (2,549 ft) high Mount Lidgbird , from which it is separated by the saddle at the head of Erskine Valley .
Ascending Gower entails a popular, guided, strenuous 8-hour return hike, though no special climbing skills are needed. The mountain is covered with rainforest , including cloud forest at the summit, containing many of the island's endemic plants.[ 2] [ 3]
