Wilsons Peak

Wilsons Peak[2] (Aboriginal: Jirramen[3]) 1,230 m (4,040 ft) is a mountain on the border of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia.

Wilsons Peak can be summited from eastern or western approaches by following the Darling Downs-Moreton Rabbit Board fence which straddles the border.

This is derived from the fact that the shape of the top of the mountain bears some resemblance to a human knee.

[1] The mountain was named by Captain Patrick Logan, the notoriously brutal commander of the Moreton Bay penal settlement, in honour of a colleague he served with at Moreton Bay.

[citation needed] The local Aboriginal tribe used the peak to send a series of smoke signals along the Main Range.
