Mount Wellington is a mountain located to the north-east of Licola in Victoria, Australia.[2]

Mount Wellington was named by Angus McMillan, who was also the first European to ascend the mountain.[3]

In November 1854, Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller climbed the mountain on the third of his three expeditions to the Victorian Alps, collecting many plants, including alpine wattle, dwarf buttercup and lilac berry.[4][5][6][7]
