Just for something to do, I used Google Earth to see if I could find this tower among the second growth timber and had no success. Tried to follow old overgrown logging roads, but there is a lot of country up there and the resolution is not too good. I might have been looking too close to Port Neville, which is not a huge town.
Port Neville isn't really a town. At one time it was a happening place but now consists of a Government wharf and a private home which has been there for decades. There are family connections to Hardwicke Island which is nearby and has been populated since the late 1800's or early 1900's. Port Neville's claim to fame is that it actually has a post office. There a few residents that live in the area but not right at Port Neville. They come by boat to pick up their mail. A lot of summer boaters make a point of dropping into Port Neville just to mail a letter. Interesting history in the area. If you are interested the history is all intertwined with Kelsey Bay, Hardwicke Island and Port Neville.
