Gallery of log for Firetowers

08-Mar-11
We found this tower while travelling through the hill in North Eastern Victoria. Mt Mittamatite summit - located on the highest
point in the park (1,003 m) are radio and aviation
communication facilities and a fire spotting tower.
Rock climbing and abseiling often occur nearby. Mount Mittamatite Regional Park (4,280 ha) is a striking feature in the landscape; its rocky slopes rise sharply from the surrounding plains and
provide shelter for numerous rare plants.

Unfortunately the area around the tower was locked so we couldn't get any closer than this. On the way down the mountain, we ran into Reg the keeper of the firetower. Next time we are up that way we will call in for a coffee with him.
