(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.

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.

The forest is one of the few remaining pieces of the Blue Gum high forest in the Sydney Basin.

Brush Farm House's variety of uses over the years provides an unbroken passage to the past through pastoral experimentation, stately home of nationally and internationally known identities, reformatory etc., these uses follow a timeline from early settlement, colonial expansion, colonial representation through parliament and national independence, through Federation, to today. Its unique association with the European settlement of Australia and its early pioneers identifies the property as one of significance to the nation.
