[…] The massive pylons and quad bundle conductors look just like those on the 500 kV twin circuit Moorabool-Portland transmission line I wrote about the other month. […]

In reply to Andrew.

Mount Elephant was privately owned for many years – in 2000 the local community purchased the land, with the first open day held in 2002.

Funny, our late friend lived in Derrinallum and about twenty five years ago referred to the area as Pleurisy Plains when he first moved there. We visited a number of times. Mount Elephant was so interesting yet we never climbed the mount. It was stripped of vegetation but ten or so years ago was being revegetated.

Interesting to see all the infrastructure, but I am not fond of the western flatlands. Way too many rocks for my liking.
