Mount Wellington is a mountain located to the north-east of Licola in Victoria, Australia.[2] It is on the border of the Alpine National Park and Avon Wilderness Park.[3] The Avon River rises on its south-eastern slopes.[3]

The mountain is accessible via a seasonally open 4 wheel drive track that traverses the ridge line. Features along the track include Millers Hut (originally built in 1916[4]), Taylors Lookout, The Sentinels and Gable End. To the near west lies Lake Tali Karng.[3]

Mount Wellington was named by Angus McMillan, who was also the first European to ascend the mountain.[5] In November 1854, Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller climbed the mountain on the third of his three expeditions to the Alps, collecting a large number of plants including Alpine Wattle, Dwarf Buttercup and Lilac Berry.[6][7][8][9]
