Article History

Mount Bartle Frere, mountain in Bellenden-Ker Range, northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is the highest point in the state and rises to 5,287 ft (1,611 m) in an area reserved as a national park. Its slopes have the climate of a rain forest and provide cover for a variety of tropical plants, birds, and mammals. The peak was named in 1873 by George A.F.E. Dalrymple, a Scottish explorer, in honour of Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere, governor of Bombay (1862–67).
