Historic sites in the bush

Tue 10 Aug, 2010 10:29 am

just been browsing maps.... have noticed on the 1:25k maps some "h" marked as historically significant sites... on of which (for example) is just SSE of Mount Byron (1.2km 160' from true north of the summit).... Just wondered if anyone knows what some of these are? -theres quite a few around once you "get your eye tuned in looking" on the maps....
I have left the topic broad so it can cover more.....

Also:
if you are like me and enjoy hunting out old spots too please remember NOT to REMOVE or DIG around these spots as it will destroy some of the sites integrity for future research / be culturally unsound or illegal to disturb them - still ok to enjoy the stories and places though!! :)

I think that symbol means places entered in the national estate register.
