Federation Peak is located in south West Tasmania and was climbed by two of us in 1992.
The photo is a view looking 600m down to Lake Geeves.
Federation pk is 1224m above sea level and took us 10 days to reach and walk back out. It is one of the most sought out peaks in Aus for bush walkers and involves a low grade climb to reach the peak and two people have died attempting this climb. Although low grade it is extremely dangerous due to its exposure and bad weather often encountered in this area. The walk in from all access directions involves long sections of mud, often swollen creeks difficult walking and steep climbs. Only for fit experienced walkers.
At the time it was one peak which it was not possible to see evidence of human interference with the landscape from.
