Statement of Significance
The site is a prominent natural feature of the landscape
It is also significant for the role it has played in communications.
Physical Description
With a height of 369.1 metres, the hill is the second highest in the Shire (behind Mine
Hill 371.6m). Communication rating is NT4.
Situated to the east of the smaller Kunmallup Hill, these two hills dominate the landscape
as they rise above the plains of the Beaufort River. These granite hills were originally
covered with jam (acacia acumenata) thickets. A small soak with the same name is
nearby.
During the 1960's a BTW3 Micro Wave Repeater Station was erected at the hill summit
for Golden West Network television station.
History
Due to its close proximity to Kunmallup, the background European history is similar until
about 1950 when the partners Flanagan and Jackson, owners of Kunmallup, split up.
They offered 9357 acres for sale of which 1300 acres was cleared and a large area
ringbarked, plus 1500 wethers and 100 ewes. Tom Flanagan sold his share which
included Kenine Hill to the Fowler brothers from Williams and built tearooms at the 141
mile on the Albany Highway.
