maybe getting a bit off subject, but for interest;
The chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet (22 yards). It is subdivided into 100 links or 4 rods. There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. ... These longer chains became obsolete following the adoption of the imperial system in 1824.

Spare a thought for all the old apprentice serveyers that had to lug the chain up and down the hill 3 times to ensure the measurements were right. They all probably wished they were measuring knots on a boat by the time the 2nd time down the hill started
 
I take my off grid van on trips around Vic. I recently looked at going to that area and found no where I could take it.
The little fella and wife enjoy the nice surrounds, wildlife and the quiet.

So stuff em, that part of Vic simply doesn't get my tourist dollars.
I'm not going to be forced into a van park shoved up next to some bong smoking noisy jerk playing music till late.
