Notes
A new facility established in December 2011. Shelter and water tank completed in early 2012.
Passed through 9/5/22. Water tank 100% full. A pity we can’t camp here on this long day!
S2N E2E there 9.5.21
Lovely views and easy walking for a change. Pity can’t camp there anymore. Water tank nearly full.

Yes it certainly is a gem.
I liked this spot for a break. It was really quiet and well protected from wind. You can see Victor Harbor from here.
Sounds like someone didn’t like it being there.
I will report this to our Maintenance group
Thanks
Another great job by the Friends.
The Tank and shelter sit just below the peak (and trig point) at Mt Cone. On the day I hiked through, (early May 2012) there was quite a wind and the site was well protected. Tank was above 20% full.
The lower step on the stile over the fence has been removed or fallen off though.
