This is a short 3 stage multi around Rutherglen.
Waypoint 1 - Lindsay Brown, Pioneer
"Dig gentleman dig, but no deeper than six inches, for there is more gold to be won from the top six inches than from all of the depths below".
A famous saying attributed to Lindsay Brown.
The history of the Rutherglen Wine region traces back to the 1850’s. Whilst the exact year of commencement is unknown it is thought to be in the mid to latter part of the decade. Lindsay Brown had selected his ‘Gooramadda Run’ in the late 1840’s and is credited with being the father of the local wine industry when he planted his four acre vineyard to the west of Rutherglen some ten years later.
There are two dates on this cairn, one when Rutherglen was settled and the other the centennial of that date. They are: ABCD - ADCD

Waypoint 2 - The Wine Bottle
The water tower, topped with a steel tank holding 72,000 gallons was completed in 1900 to supply the town’s water. The tower became a backup supply once the new reservoir was constructed in 1945.
The mesh top section was erected in December 1969 with funds from the Rutherglen Wine Festival, and from a distance gives the effect of a large wine bottle.
What was the month and year that work commenced on the tower? AA ABDD
