Pyramid Hill, 192 metres above sea level, is a granite hill in northern Victoria. It was named by Surveyor General of NSW, Thomas Mitchell, on his 1836 exploratory expedition.

This photo shows John and Trevor Forbes on top of Pyramid Hill, a popular picnic spot, with the farming land of the plains below.

Like other Victorian rural areas, the rural population of the Patho Plains is decreasing. When landowners move out of the district, they take a wealth of historical knowledge and experience with them.

The Patho Plains Oral History Project was developed to capture the historical knowledge of farmers and landowners to better understand the changing landscape. These interviews and photographs form part of that project.
