Mount Disappointment is an 800 metre mountain located 60km north of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. First climbed by New South Wales explorers Hume and Hovell in 1824, the mountain is now a popular hiking spot.
[edit] History
After making the arduous climb to the summit, Hume and Hovell hoped to view Port Phillip Bay. Unfortunately, the mountain's many trees prevented this, and consequently they recorded their feelings in the name they chose for the mountain.
