Mount Eliza, a hill on the northern coast of Lord Howe Island, was formerly known as Finger Peak, was renamed by Captain Middleton (an early settler on the island) after his wife Eliza. Mount Gower is the highest mountain on Lord Howe Island. With a height of 875 metres (2,871 ft) above sea level, and a relatively flat 27-hectare (67-acre) summit plateau, it stands at the southern end of Lord Howe, just south of the island's second highest peak, the 777-metre (2,549 ft) high Mount Lidgbird, from which it is separated by the saddle at the head of Erskine Valley.
