Cecil Peak
Cecil Peak is a mountain in the Wakatipu Basin, New Zealand and reaches a height of 1,978 metres.[1] It is on the south side of Lake Wakatipu, south south-west of Queenstown and is highly prominent from around this area. [2]
Vegetation is mainly grass and tussock (as it is under a pastoral lease[3]) with trees near the waterline. Hidden Island is one of four islands in Lake Wakatipu and sits very close to the shoreline of Cecil Peak. On 27 March 2010 a local band performed an outdoor concert in a natural amphitheatre on the peak playing songs from the band Pink Floyd.[4]
Name
Both Cecil Peak and the nearby mountain of Walter Peak were named after William Rees eldest sons first given names by the surveyor James McKerrow in 1862.[5]
