should have boon a bronze plaque set in concrete block with a station number on it and a punch mark for the surveyors to centre their theodolite on.I'll bet its still there if you had looked in the certre of the four corners

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Yes, most likely under all that grass.... I didn't even think about checking! Next time.

[@t-rocks1960]

Awesome Mate, I'm heading up there in a week or so to do some geology. It's an interesting formation. I think the "Metamorphic track is a bit of a tell. One thing I noticed, Mango trees ? I don't think anyone has ever lived up there, and only we are big enough to transport a mango seed. Interesting. And how cool would that house just on the other side of that gate, what a place to live.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Yeah, the mango tree were interesting. Also, that house is on a closed off road at the back end of Mount View Rd. Not sure if you know this but Mount View Road is a rumoured 'spook hill'.... there's a section there where it goes uphill, you put your car in neutral, and it will roll up the hill. (insert plot thickening music here....)

Ahhh yes keepin it nice and local! Only been up twice (Not enough.), the first time was on the trail that our previous mayor closed after she brought land there. 🙄 Love the nerding out with the BDARS.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

I did hear about that mayor buying the land only by word of mouth. I never looked into it more than that. The BDARS fellas were great 😊

[@benjamincumming84]

Yay I got a shut out 😊 great video John and good to see the radio club members, I used to be a regular on channel 7 UHF 🤣

[@bigjobs666]

I once heard a bloke make a "Duuuhhhh" noise for about 20 minutes straight on ch7... amazing 😂

[@benjamincumming84]

@@bigjobs666 UHF trolls are real, blokes park next to the repeater to get the maximum transmitting power

[@benjamincumming84]

@bigjobs666 I can remember that, what a time to be alive 🤣 I recorded the after marth of that drama

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Thanks Ben....you deserve it!! The guy I was chatting to was a very friendly fellow and the other members seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. I'm glad he called out to me to take a look... we had a good old chat. :)

[@margaretg9407]

You need to do my Petrie area also....one of those markers up there, were holding up in the 80's as we used to ride horses up there. I remember that one was all bent over back then

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Do you mean Mt Petrie at Belmont? If so, I did a recent video on my channel where I went to that Trig Station.

[@michfra1551]

Great video mate. So interesting to see the bdars guys!

[@sjgraafmans]

Love your videos, great content. Careful with the drone near radio towers. The radio frequencies will jam drone signals and crash the drone. Thanks for sharing such great local info and content.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

My pleasure... Thanks for watching 🙌

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome

Nice Views And Cool Metal Art. Did You Drag That Round Piece Of metal back With You? Looked Like Some Kind Of Pulley.

[@jelbuilderfilms]

Yeah, it was a pulley alright.... I thought about keeping it as a memory, but then I thought I've got enough metal junk already back at home.... plus the thing was like 20kgs!

[@waterfallsaustraliabymark]
