Some more information about
Point Sunday from Ian Elliot’s guide book:
In 1903 Frank Hann’s aboriginal companion
Talbot marked a mulga ‘F HANN XV111/V/03’ and carved ‘
TALBOT’ on another. These trees are long-gone, the victims of lightning strike wildfires.
In 1916 the geologist H.W.B.
Talbot blazed another tree at
Point Sunday. This tree was situated on the track to the car park until comparatively recently.
From the top you can see many other features named by Frank Hann- Dorothy Hills, Dungey
Table Hill, Mallee
Hen Point, Little View
Hill and Stony Point.
Hann named lots of features after barmaids he met in bush pubs. Within a few days drive of
Point Sunday there are Dorothy Hills,
Lily Rockhole and Amy
Rockhole to name just a few.
Cheers,
John
