The near-as-I-can-make-out unnamed southern end of the Mount Ossa Ridge. At 1440m, I'm surprised it hasn't got a moniker.
One of Mount Hyperion's lumpy bits in the background.
Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania.
Trees in the foreground are a mixture of Snow Gums (Eucalyptus coccifera) and the skeletons of fire ravaged Pencil Pines (Athrotaxis cupressoides).

Beneath Mount Ossa (1617m), a stand of dead Pencil Pines (Athrotaxis cupressoides).
Pencil Pines are endemic to Tasmania and are thought to be remnants of Gondwana.
They are NOT fire tolerant. Pockets remain in the highlands where rock and moisture have largely protected them but they are increasingly under threat of dry-lightning. This stand was I think burned in the 1960s.

Mt. Ossa (1617m, left) and Mt. Doris (1340m) from south of Pelion Gap. Central Tasmania.
Ossa is the island's highest mountain. While not that high by global standards, worth considering that the whole Jurassic dolerite cap of the island was ground flat by sheet ice in the Pleistocene.
Among the gums with their white trunks are the skeletons of fire ravaged Pencil Pines (Athrotaxis cupressoides). Once a fire has gone through a stand of pines it's game over for them and the Eucalypts take over.
