Mount Hopeless (South Australia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Hopeless (29°42′S, 139°40′E) is in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, south-west of Lake Blanche. It was named by Edward John Eyre in 1840 when he failed to discover an inland sea. It is little more than a stony rise of 127 metres.

Robert O'Hara Burke named Blanchewater Station (29°33′S, 139°26′E) Mount Hopeless. He was trying to reach this outpost but failed and returned to Cooper Creek, dying shortly thereafter.
