[1/1] Cannibal Hill or Mt Cannibal

Statement of Significance

Cannibal Hill or Mt. Cannibal is of significance to the Cardinia Shire because it has associations with early exploration and pioneering surveys of the Shire. Cannibal Hill and Cannibal Creek are shown as important land marks on early maps such as an 1861 map showing the Gippsland Road(surveyed in 1847) crossing the creek. The hill retains native forest along the skyline but has been cleared at the base.

Cannibal Hill is also locally significant as an expression of the work of Shire Engineer, Ron Chambers, and the community to protect natural landscape within the Shire.
