Mount Macedon

Mount Macedon (Aboriginal Woiwurrung language: ''Geboor'' or ''Geburrh''〔) is a mountain that is part of the Macedon Ranges of the Great Dividing Range, located in the Central Highlands region of Victoria, Australia. The mountain has an elevation of AHD with a prominence of AHD〔 and is located approximately northwest of Melbourne.
==Etymology==
The mountain is known as ''Geboor'' or ''Geburrh'' in the Aboriginal Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri people.〔
The mountain was originally sighted by Hamilton Hume and William Hovell on their 1824 expedition to Port Phillip from New South Wales. They named it Mount Wentworth. It was renamed Mount Macedon by explorer Major Thomas Mitchell who ascended the mountain in 1836.〔 He named it after Philip of Macedon in honour of the fact that he was able to view Port Philip from the summit. Several other geographic features along the path of his third ''Australia Felix'' expedition were named after figures of Ancient Macedonia including the nearby Campaspe River and Mount Alexander near Castlemaine (named after Alexander the Great).
