Bendigo The Lookout Tower Rosalind Park

The present poppet head lookout tower was erected in 1931.
It was shifted from the Garden Gully United mine which was
one of Bendigo’s richest. During the gold rush a flag was flown
from the top of Camp Hill to signal the arrival of mail. Because
of the absence of trees which were cut down for the mines, the
flag could be seen from all parts of Bendigo.

My first thought was a fire tower too. Good to read the info.

How interesting. I thought it was a fire tower (for spotting fires) at first.

I do remember seeing this, it was up a a steep gradient - quite a lot
of steps to get to the top, which we didn't do. v

Did you climb to the top and get photos for us to see?
From the thumbnail I thought this was a TX oil well! ;)
