The Du Cane Range is a mountain range in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia.
An unnamed peak on the main ridge of the Du Cane Range has an elevation of 1,520 metres (4,990 ft) above sea level[citation needed] and is the eleventh highest mountain peak in Tasmania. Major peaks in the range include The Acropolis, Mount Geryon, The Parthenon, Mount Eros, Mount Hyperion, Mount Massif and Falling Mountain. Mount Ossa, Tasmania's highest peak at an elevation of 1,614 metres (5,295 ft) is located nearby, however is not contained within the Du Cane Range.[2]
The range is a major feature of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, and is a popular venue with bushwalkers and mountain climbers.
The Du Cane Range was named in honour of Sir Charles Du Cane, KCMG , the Governor of Tasmania from 1874 to 1878.[3]
