Nearby Lake Cobbler, which has a camping area, is accessible by a four-wheel drive track.[3] From there is a walking track to the summit, and another to Dandongadale Falls, which drops 255 metres (837 ft) from the plateau and is the highest waterfall in Victoria.[4] The 5-kilometre (3-mile) walk to the summit is moderate to steep.[3] Surrounding peaks include Mount Typo to the north-east, Mount Koonika and Mount Speculation to the south-east, and Mount Stirling to the south-west.[3]
Tree species occurring on the surrounding plateau include Mountain Gum (Eucalyptus dalrympleana), Snow Gum (E. pauciflora) and Broad-leaved Peppermint (E. dives).[1] Heathland, shrubland and patches of herbfield are found on the rocky escarpments, with species including Alpine Shaggy-pea (Podolobium alpestre) and Mountain Beard-heath (Acrothamnus hookeri).[1]
Annual rainfall ranges between 1,250–1,500 millimetres (49–59 in), with snowfalls regularly experienced in winter.[1]
