Dumgoyne. A major landmark, being an individual peak on the otherwise flat topped expanse of the Campsies. A neck of resistant volcanic rock left after softer stuff was washed away.

Summit of Dumgoyne. Such a fine peak, so someone has to leave their mark. This little piece of lamp-post widdling is a lump of alien rock hauled up by helicopter courtesy of Strathendrick Rotarians in 2000. A lot of nonsense in 2000 - must be those noughts.
