History
[edit]The locality name takes its name from the mountain, which was named as the result of a random remark by Elizabeth Patrick at a 1915 picnic, when she commented on the view.[2]
Five blocks on the mountain were made available early in the 20th century, with the first block being bought by James O'Hara in 1903.[8] In 1921, a real estate map advertised 31 blocks as 'Crest Estate : the first section', being subdivisions of Portion 9, Parish of Parker.[9][10]
The mountain was the centre of a 4.4 magnitude earthquake in November 1960.[11]
