Mount St Leonard Tower is located St Leonards Road continues north as Myers Creek Road. 12 km north of Healesville is a signposted turnoff on the right into Monda Track which soon leads to a carpark from whence there is a 1.3-km walk to the summit of Mt St Leonard (1028 m) where there is a fire tower and excellent views.

The walk is gentle to start with and I suggest you follow the road round to the top as it is extremely steep and rocky going up the fire track from the Car Park. You can walk or mountain bike down to Donnellys Creek Weir 9km but will take about 2 to 3 hours.

The base of the tower was 1027 metres above sea level and the height of the platform was 25.5 metres. It was constructed primarily by Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works for the protection of the watershed. Originally power was provided by a diesel engine and generator until mains power was connected in the 1960’s. In 1988 this tower was superseded by the present larger structure built by Telstra to a height of 37 metres. This has the capacity to carry all the modern communications equipment. It has emergency services – Police, Ambulance, CFA, SES, NRE, Parks Victoria. It has mobile phone relay stations for Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone and Orange. Currently negations are underway to attach TV repeater stations.
