East Mount Barren


East Mount Barren is a quartzite peak of the Barren Range in Fitzgerald River National Park. It was sighted and named by explorer Matthew Flinders on 6 January 1802, together with two other peaks in the range, West Mount Barren and Middle Mount Barren. All were named because of their barren appearance.
A walking track ascends in height to the summit which has views of the coast from the Doubtful Islands to Mason Point as well as inland.
