About this mountain
Parks Victoria identifies The Horn as the highest point of Mount Buffalo in Victoria.
Australia
The Horn
Sources and scope
Parks Victoria has a dedicated exact-feature page for The Horn, identifies it as Mount Buffalo's highest point, and links a map point at -36.776374, 146.764557, about 0.235 km from the recorded point. Parks Victoria reports 1,723 m, conflicting with the recorded 1,704 m; the guide therefore suppresses elevation and prominence. recorded alternate names are also not shown because the official source treats Mount Buffalo as the containing plateau/park context rather than an alternate name for The Horn.
