Mount Gower (also known as Big Hill),[1] is the highest mountain on Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. With a height of 875 metres (2,871 ft) above sea level, and a relatively flat 27-hectare (67-acre) summit plateau, it stands at the southern end of Lord Howe, just south of the island's second highest peak, the 777-metre (2,549 ft) high Mount Lidgbird, from which it is separated by the saddle at the head of Erskine Valley.

Ascending Gower involves a popular guided 8-hour hike that is said to be strenuous but that does not require climbing skill or experience.

The rainforest-covered mountain is capped with a cloud forest containing many of the island's endemic plants.[2][3]
