It was the location of a Western Australian Forestry Department fire-watching tower, which had a few names including Mount Gunjin lookout tower.[1][2][3]
The fire tower and hut site are identified in the Kattamordo Heritage Trail pamphlet as being constructed in 1921.[4]
Prior to the relocation of the Perth Observatory from Mount Eliza to Bickley, a site near Mount Gunjin had been considered for the observatory.[5]
In 1966 Mount Gunjin became the origin point in Western Australia for the National Geodetic Survey.[6][7][8]
