Brumby Point
Mountain in Victoria, Australia
Brumby Point is a peak on the remote Nunniong Plateau in the Alpine National Park in Victoria, Australia.[1][2] Distinct from the similarly named Brumby Hill to the north-west, it is bounded by Reedy Creek Chasm to the north and Little Reedy Creek to the south. The locality has been noted for visible folds in the Ordovician rock.[3] A number of rare plant species occur in the area including Eucalyptus elaeophloia and Leptospermum jingera.[4] The "brumby mallee-gum", recently discovered in this location, was formally described in 2013 and assigned the name Eucalyptus phoenix.[5] The seven kilometre long Brumby Point four wheel drive track which traversed the ridge leading up to the point was earmarked for permanent closure in 1992.[6]
