Mt Imlay Trig station.
Located within the Imlay Natioal park aproximatly 20 KMs south west of the Southern NSW's coastal town of Eden and the large natural harbour Two fold bay.
"The top of Mt Imlay offers great views of the coast and forest, and the summit area supports a population of extremely rare (tree) Eucalyptus imlayensis. Aboriginal people know the mountain as Balawan, a powerful spiritual place of great significance. The mountain is named after the three Imlay brothers, who played an important part in opening the Eden-Monaro district to European settlement in the 1830s and 40s."
"Mount Imlay - Flora and Fauna
A number of threatened or biogeographically significant plant species occur in the park including Eucalyptus imlayensis; a rare species of eucalypt, endemic to Mount Imlay and classified as endangered.
The park is rich in animal life, but many species are rarely seen due to their nocturnal nature. Bird life in the park includes lyrebirds, tree creepers and currawongs with wedge tailed eagles occasionally seen overhead.
Rainforest pockets occur in the sheltered gullies within the park. Towards the summit of Mt. Imlay the vegetation is stunted due to the area's shallow soils and exposure to the weather."
Beside the trig station is a Telstra radio repeating tower used to provide Marine telephone communication services.
"Mount Imlay - Location and Access
Access to the Mt. Imlay summit track is through the East Boyd State Forest via the Burawang Forest Rd. which leaves the Princes Hwy 19km south of Eden."
