Murderer's Hill is near the site of a double murder between Dunolly and
Jones's Creek in 1857. Robert Dunlop and Hugh McLean were discovered
dead on Sunday, 29th November. The bodies appeared to have been there
for several weeks.
The
Dunolly Museum website has a fantastic page about the murder of Robert Dunlop and Hugh McLean.
This hill near where this murder took place was named Murderer's Hill and
the name has endured to this day. There's a sign indicating the site of
the hill beside the Bridgewater-Dunolly Road.
The hand painted sign pictured on this page has been replaced with a
smaller wooden sign and no longer stands out as much as it used to, so
keep a close eye out if looking for the location alongside the road.
Pictures of the original sign will remain on this page along with the
updated one, as the previous large, handmade sign had a
lot of character.
