Location and features
[edit]Its peak is 1,325 metres (4,347 ft) AHD and affords excellent views.[6]
A fire lookout tower was installed in 1962 to replace the Jamieson Lookout. The hut next to the lookout tower burnt down during the night of 8–9 December 2012. Its reconstruction was approved in 2016.[7]
It is a steel structure measuring 22 metres (72 ft) high and has a cabin on top. The tower is utilised for communications by Telstra, Ambulance Victoria, Department of Sustainability and Environment, Victorian State Emergency Service, LSE Technology and the Upper Goulburn Repeater Association (UHF CB).[8][9]
Access to the summit is via a 4 wheel drive track. The track is rocky, and may be covered by snow in the winter.[6][10]
