I have been right up to the Trig many many times. Growing up I was best mates of a son of the farmer running this land back then. I use to hang out at the farm an lot. Also my father knew his father very well through Rotary, and we gathered a lot of mossy rocks from this hill for the landscaping of the backyard. Many many trailer loads - lol.
TFTC !!
Thanks
