Climbing Mt Zeil



The summit of Mt Zeil is 1,531 metres / 5,023 feet above sea-level. The mountain is only the sixth highest of Australia’s eight state and territory highpoints, but as a peak Mt Zeil is noteworthy for the fact that it’s the highest mountain in Australia west of the Great Dividing Range. In addition, along with Queensland’s Mt Bartle Frere, Mt Zeil is also one of the toughest of the Australian state and territory highpoints to climb. The green tin to the left of Eric and me contains the mountain’s summit register.
