Mount Rooper, Queensland

Mount Rooper is a coastal locality in the Whitsunday Region, Queensland, Australia.

Notch Hill is 347 metres (1,138 ft) high and was named in May 1881 by Captain John Fiot Lee Pearse Maclear (Royal Navy) of HMS Alert because, when viewed from the east, the peak appears to have a notch.

[4] The mountain Mount Rooper is 221 metres (725 ft) and named in 1932 by Lieutenant Commander C.G.

Little named the mountain after the Rooper Inlet which it overlooks to the south (near present-day Shute Harbour), which was in turn named by Maclear in May 1881 after Lieutenant Henry E. Rooper on HMS Alert.
