“SURVEYOR W. HARPER.
“About the year 1821 Surveyor Harper made surveys around the upper portion of the Shoalhaven River, near Barber’s Creek and Bungonia, and travelled southerly to the vicinity of the Budawang Range.
“He records an observation to Pigeon House as N. 39 degrees E., from portion of that range, evidently near Mongo [Monga] from where he also saw the ocean. He was probably the first white man to observe the Pigeon House from the south-western side. In this connection it may be pointed out that, owing to its conical shape, the Pigeon House presents the same appearance to an observer from whatever side it may be viewed.”
