Hill


The panoramic view from Connors Hill, near Swifts Creek, Victoria


A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain, in a limited area. Hills often have a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section or bispecies of scarp slope without a well-defined area of it or the submitted summit (e.g. Box Hill).

Swifts Creek, Victoria
Swifts Creek is a rural community located between Omeo and Ensay on the Great Alpine Road in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, 379 kilometres (235 mi) east of the state capital Melbourne. Swifts Creek is at an altitude of 300m above sea level. The area was originally settled by Europeans in the gold rushes of the mid 1800s.
At the 2006
census, Swifts Creek and the surrounding area had a population of 281.[1] Local estimates often suggest a population somewhat less than official figures for the area, but there are disputes over what surrounding areas are counted in the town's population.
