A hill that is located about 495.1 km from Adelaide. The hill itself is 405 m above sea level.

On Cleve road just west of Mount Bosanquet. During early road works, decently large quartz crystals were found during early road works. Some even being double terminated. Sadly this deposit is now underneath the bitumen road.
