25.01.2022 ***THE BOTTOM LINE IS*** ---------------------------------- The Jimna Fire Tower can be restored with a reconfigured staircase to meet Australian building standards, for public use, with the potential to attract a self funding income, for a cost of $805,254-00. The alternative is to demolish it and retain the cabin for a cost of $206,780-00 A differential of $598.474-00. ... What price do we put on our Australian Heritage?
24.01.2022 If we can't save the tower, how could we ever save the world?
23.01.2022 This is the highest fire tower in the southern hemisphere at 47m high. If enough people get behind this, we can keep it standing tall for the next generation to see. #straya
19.01.2022 But you will see the occasional meme to giggle at. You CAN however, save the tower by camping in Peach Trees on the 24-26th March.
17.01.2022 All musicians welcome on the 20th of May 17, let's get a jam circle happening.
15.01.2022 Saving the tower is more than preserving Australian history, it's about making it relevant and useful for generations to come. Jimna is a long way from light pollution and a beautiful place to star gaze, so why not make it the highest observatory in the south east?
