Pretty Sally
Pretty Sally or Pretty Sally Hill is a dormant volcanic cone located between Wallan and Kilmore in Victoria, Australia. It is 529 metres above sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Bonzle Digital Atlas )〕 It arises from the surrounding open undulating plains of a broad gap in the Great Dividing Range.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.land.vic.gov.au/dpi/vro/portregn.nsf/pages/port_land_systems_nth_melb_ls_p-w/$FILE/north%20of%20melbourne%20-%20pretty%20sally%20ls.pdf )〕
The original road to Sydney ran near the peak known as the Big Hill. Sally Smith (better known as "Pretty Sally") operated an unlicensed hotel there in the 1840s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4761883 )〕 She died falling under her cart after striking a stump.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4762230 )〕
The hill is skirted by a section of the Northern Highway, which was formerly part of the Hume Highway. By the 1930s Pretty Sally had gained a reputation as a notorious road accident black spot due a sharp turn near the crest of the hill.
In 1979 the now closed Pretty Sally Roadhouse was used as the setting of Fat Nancy's in the film ''Mad Max''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Mad Max Filming Locations )〕
A fire tower is manned during the bushfire season, generally from December to March. There is also a trig station on the hill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gazd01?rec=252130 )〕
