Mount Pisgah (Victoria)
Mount Pisgah is a small volcanic lava dome 11 km from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.[1][2] The name derives from the summit of the Biblical Mount Nebo, from which Moses first saw the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 34:1–4).[3]
The Djadjawurrung and Wathawurrung name for the mount is Morambulbuledj.[4] It is 559 metres above sea level.[1]
The Dowling Forest (Ballarat) Racecourse is located at the base of Mount Pisgah. In 2009, plans were revealed to build a 1400-metre uphill training track on the side of the mountain.[5]
