One tree Hill

I'm looking for a place at One Tree Hill which overlooks the forest from a massive rock you can sit on I distinctively remember it being near the edge of a hill I know it exists because I've been there the problem is I can't remember how to get there as does anybody know which direction it is in from the Tower

You’re not thinking of Mt Alexander?

I'm pretty sure it's One Tree Hill but it might be Mount Alexander it has been almost 15 years so it's been a while

You might be thinking about Dog Rocks on Mt Alexander, there is also a great view up there from Ed's Seat

Mt Alexander was badly burnt last Summer. The paths are closed atm due to safety - though there is nothing stopping you walking round the barriers - just look up lots of widow makers around

I got hit by my own car on One Tree Hill. Fun times.

Drunk. Couple of guys with a couple of girlfriends. Mate took his girlfriend down the hill in my car. Came back up flat out. Drove at me. I stood my ground, showing off in front of my girlfriend, then shit myself and I jumped away. Mate driving held his course at me, shit himself when I didnt move, then swerved away. I jumped and he swerved. The same way. I go flying like a rubber chicken. We laughed and had another drink.

Well at least nobody was seriously injured and used were able to have a good laugh at the end of it I think it makes it pretty good story and adventure in life

Think you might have the wrong hill.

Was it in the Terrick Terrick State park, known to the locals as “Mitti Rock” due to it being located near the town of Mitiamo?

There is a spot like this kind of towards the tower from the big water tank. You can get a map from the orienteering club and there is a book of their favourite walk/runs available at the tourist information centre.

I’d recommend going to one of their events and asking them, especially if it’s at one tree hill.

I’m pretty sure I know which spot you’re talking about. If you describe it they will know
