Mount Jukes is a mountain in the West Coast Range on the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia. It was named by Charles Gould in 1862 after Professor Joseph Beete Jukes, English geologist, who was involved in issues relating to Charles Darwin. Jukes had visited Hobart in 1842-3 on HMS Fly.
With multiple peaks, and glacial lakes on its upper eastern reaches, Mount Jukes was the mountain above the town of Crotty and is west of what is now Lake Burbury.

Famous quotes containing the word mount:
“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
