Rumour has it that Roberts Foxlee had a falling out with Tom Andrews, also known as Bullocky Tom, and decided to cut a new track instead of using Bullocky Tom's Track. In 1903, Foxlee planned and cut the new route up to the tin mines. Phil Foxlee opened his track over an arduous route from Saltwater Creek (now Crystal Creek) passing along the range at the lookout which bears his name and connecting with the other trail network at Mount Spec. The Mount Spec tracks were opened in the 1880-1890 period.
