OpenStreetMap’s core principle is to map what exists. The presence of danger is not, in itself, a reason for omission — if it were, many other natural and man-made hazards (steep cliffs, unstable rock faces, fast-flowing rivers, abandoned mines) would need to be removed as well.

The fact that a location is dangerous does not mean it ceases to exist, nor that it should be hidden. In some cases, removing it may increase risk: people may still encounter the feature in the real world without warning, and the absence of accurate mapping could make emergencies harder to respond to.

Importantly, mapping a location in OSM is not “promoting” it — OSM is a factual geographic database, not a tourism guide. Just as mapping a cliff does not encourage people to jump from it, mapping a cave entrance does not invite inexperienced individuals to enter it.

Gday Woodpeck, "Ruby's Knoll" (should be Rubys because of the apostrophe rules in mountain names in Victoria so I've gotta change that as well) appeared in a map issued to Timbertop students (myself included) in 2018. I can't recall the name of the map or the publisher but part of the map included something relating to 'rogaining'. In regards to where the name's from, I would assume that it is related to one of the original families of the Timbertop region (i.e. Klingsporn, Barclay, Lovicks). Hope that provides some sort of information! :)

Gday Warin, the predominant source I use, if it's not imagery, is MapShare VIC

G'day. Unfortunately I've been unable to track down an online copy of the official Timbertop Map that is handed out to students (as I was a past student) and information regarding these tracks and the surrounding region exist only on this hardcopy map. I'll keep you informed if I can find a copy or if it's uploaded online :)
