I saw this on our walk this morning. I thought it was a new tunnel to explore, but once I got close the smooth rounded walls and sooty interior showed it is another charcoal kiln. It's the second one I've seen along this stretch of the Wilson Trail - the other one is a bit further south.

When they're still in their original condition, I don't think I'd notice them. It's only when they get older and the roof falls in that they are easy to spot. Then I expect after a few years they will completely collapse and will be invisible again.

Walking down Jat's Incline this morning, I noticed a small section of the hillside had collapsed after the recent rainy weather.

Collapse - close view

 

The steep drop in the top section looked similar to the collapsed entrances of Japanese wartime tunnels, so I climbed up expecting to see a tunnel disappearing into the hillside. But what I found looked more like a
