      highest peak (6,516 feet [1,986 m]) of Victoria, Australia. It is in the Australian Alps, 150 miles (240 km) northeast of Melbourne. Well known for winter sports, the peak derived its name from an Aboriginal word meaning “high plains.” Bogong township was established there during the construction of the Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme (completed 1958), near Albury.
