Mount Sedgwick is a Mountain in the West Coast Range, West Coast Tasmania. It lies in line behind Mount Lyell in views from high points in Queenstown and from the roads leading out to Strahan and Zeehan. Bands of the pink and grey coloured conglomerate show strikingly on its south west slopes. Its western and south western slopes are significantly more precipitous and rocky, compared to the once heavily forested southern and south eastern slopes. Lake Margaret lies at the northern side of the mountain, while Lake Beatrice and Lake Burbury at the eastern side. Mount Sedgwick is effectively the source of the Lake Margaret water - with smaller named lakes above Lake Margaret as feeders. _____________________________________
