About
Flagstaff Hill is the highest peak within the Meehan Range in southeastern Tasmania, Australia, situated on the eastern shore of the island's capital, Hobart. It rises to an elevation of 435 metres (1, 427 ft) above sea level. Despite its name, "Flagstaff Hill" is a misnomer, as a mountain is typically defined as a landform that rises at least 300 m (980 ft) above the surrounding terrain. With a prominence of 80 metres (262 ft) and a central location within the Meehan Range Nature Recreation Area, Flagstaff Hill serves as a prominent landmark on Hobart's eastern shore.
