The Mount Sedgwick is a mountain in the west of the Australian state of Tasmania . It is in the center of the West Coast Range and behind Mount Lyell when viewed from Queenstown and the Strahan road .
Ribbons of pink and gray colored conglomerate show up on its southwest slopes. Its south and west flanks are significantly steeper and rocky compared to the once densely forested south and south-east flanks. The summit structure consists of connected diabass columns from the Jurassic period , which are interpreted as remnants of a diabetic layer and penetrate the Permian Tillit , which can be seen on the east side of the mountain.
Lake Margaret is north of the mountain, while Lake Beatrice and Lake Burbury are on its east side. Lake Margaret's water definitely comes from Mount Sedgwick, with smaller lakes above being considered springs.
Mount Geikie and the Tyndall Range are the main mountains of the West Coast Range north of Mount Sedgwick.
