This tower no longer exists. Photo (2009) supplied by Russell Edwards. The plague was found on top of the middle of three peaks on the Cobaw ranges.
Russell also commented: "The plaque can be reached by an unofficial walking/motorbike/horse track which runs the 500 m up the hill from Ridge Rd. I could find no sign at all of any remnants of the tower. It looks as if the area has been burned about 3-5 years ago so perhaps that cleaned up any ruins".

Correspondence supplied by David Bannear (dated 02-04-1971) states:
"District Foresters at Forrest and Macedon have been asked to request you to arrange for inspections of the wooden towers at Cobaw and Mt. Sabine.
It is not anticipated they could or would be replaced in 1971 / 1972".
