The previous, wooden, tower burnt down in 1965. Details still unknown.
For years, this tower was only used when there was a going fire in the area or on high fire danger days, but over the last few years, it has been fully active again.
There used to be a live-in cabin on site, but it hasn't been used since the late seventies. It was moved in 1996 approx.
Above information and photo was supplied by Dick Noble. Dick has served on Mt. Skene, Mt. Useful and currently on Mt. Moornapa

Mt. Moornapa had it's cabin replaced in 2016
