Mount Field, twin-peaked mountain massif, south-central Tasmania, Australia. The two peaks, about 7.5 miles (12 km) apart, are Mount Field West (4,705 feet [1,434 metres]) and Mount Field East (4,165 feet [1,269 metres]). The mountain lies within the 61-square-mile (158-square-km) Mount Field National Park.
