This landmark as it now stands is as a result of Government intervention. A once towering mound, "the Hill'" as it was commonly called was once a primary source for building material (gravel) in the South. Halting the removal of material and adding access roads has made this a popular spot for functions, family outings and just an opportunity to view the surrounding area from a vantage point. It's an experience that defies description but is worth living.
