This cabin no longer exists and was east of Waterford Park. Please contact us if you have any details about this tower, thanks.
Trevor also reported: The concrete foundation is still there. I still use it as a fire observation point. Many trips there on black Saturday. I believe Tony Scicluna tried to build a stone cabin on the foundation but gave up.
Phil Searl (Mt. Hickey FLO) supplied the following in Dec 2019: It was an on the ground cabin like Mt Wombat but it had those fantastic louver windows. I can just remember seeing that tower in the early 60's. There is a side cut leading to the site that is still quite visable.
Phil added the following March 2025: The cabin was clad with fibro cement sheet over a wooden frame with the obligatory louver windows! The concrete slab is 2720 mm X 2420 mm.
