(Date Changed) TS2596 JELLORE has a notice claiming to be the first trig station established under order of Governor Ralph Darling on 26 May 1828 by Thomas Mitchell who succeded John Oxley as Australia's Surveyor General. So, probably “the first” trig station ever in Australia, and the first by Thomas Mitchel under Governor Darling. A mix of walking track and fire trail to the base of Mount Jellore. Track to summit has loose rocks but not too steep. View point past the trig to the north worth going to. Grade 4 walk when including the last leg to the summit. A grade 3 walk to the south rock wall of the summit. Hazards: Storms that will cancel the walk. Location: Jellore State Forest Map: Hilltop 8929-2N and Mittagong 8929-2S Limit:15.
