Mathew Flinders Cairn on Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula

Correct weight. Yes and its still there. Markers/Cairns of this type were constructed all around and over our great country by many explorers.
I have been to many of them from the Canning stock Route and Alfred Cannings to Pooles Cairn on Mt Poole station near Milparinka. Most of them have great stories.

Manners boys. Tradition in this topic for years.
Question solver generally thanks or acknowledges the asker.
And Pete Smith was as about as vague as the question.
Keep smiling

David Uniapon is a good guess, and has been subject of a few questions in this thread before.

 

[plastered81]

I was built in the late 1800's and at the time was the biggest in the southern hemisphere?

 

[DrDuck]

Was it St Killian's church, in Ballarat. Built in 1890, the largest timber church in the Southern Hemisphere?
