Mount Gibbo is a mountain in the Australian Alps. It is 38 kilometres to the north-east of Benambra in Victoria, Australia and lies within the Mount Gibbo Natural Features and Scenic Reserve managed by Parks Victoria.[2] The reserve, which covers 1493.1 hectares, was established in 1979.[3] On the northern side of the mountain, Ordovician sediments are exposed on the steep slopes.[4] Surrounding peaks include Mount Pinnibar (1772 metres) to the north, Mount Hope (1558 metres) to the south-east and Mount Sassafras (1587 metres) to the west.[5][6] Plant species found in the reserve include the rare Alpine Phebalium (Phebalium squamulosum subsp. ozothamnoides) and the endangered Kosciuszko Grevillea (Grevillea victoriae subsp. nivalis).[7][8] The area was extensively burned by a bushfire in 2003.[8]
