It is the highest point on the western portion of the range.[5] Approximately 220m west of the summit lies the site of a plane wreckage of a De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth which crashed on 30 August 1957 and killed the pilot, A. J. Cuthbertson - a small, white cross stand at the site in memoriam.[6][7]
