The main photo and the above photos were taken and supplied by Matt Rixon in June 2021. Matt also reported the following:
"I managed a trip out to the Tooloom Fire Tower on the weekend. It requires a 5km drive from the nearest sealed road - 4WD would be preferable though a 2WD could make it in dry weather. There's a locked gate to prevent vehicle access 1km from the tower. I parked here and walked up some steep terrain - first through dry eucalypt forest, which quickly turns into a cool rainforest environment, full of strangler figs and giant stinging trees. As you make your way to the top of the hill it's all cleared and there's a trig point and comms tower sharing the peak with the fire tower. It's a fantastic little walk. There are good views down into the Kyogle area in NSW, and north up into the Scenic Rim area of QLD."

This tower is in the Yabbra State forest near Urbenville
