Mount King William is a mountain adjacent to the Lyell Highway in Central Highlands, Tasmania.〔 Map 15 of the ''Tasmanian Towns Street Atlas'' Edition 7, (1995) Tasmap 〕 It is located 10 km south west of Derwent Bridge. It is often a reference point for the 'end' of the inhabited part of the western section of Lyell Highway as there are no permanent structures until Linda; it is inside the eastern boundary of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. There is also Lake King William, south of Derwent Bridge. It is dammed at Butlers Gorge, its south end. Mount King William was named during Sir John Franklin's journey to the west in 1842.〔 Gee, H.M. ''Governor Franklin's Journey, 1842'' in ''The South West Book'' p.37 - ''the party named King Williams Mount and King William Plains after the reigning monarch of the day'' 〕 W.C.Piguenit painted it while on his journey through the area in the 1880s. ==Historical photograph== * http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an23768341 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount King William」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
