On the way to the lookout the former reservoir caretaker’s cottage can be seen behind the club house at the golf course. Caretaker W. Blythe Simpson lived with his wife and four children – Rose, Jim, Tom and May – in this two-roomed stone cottage in the early 1900s. They had a fine vegetable garden near the dam and Mr Simpson was constantly repairing water pipes with red lead.
