This trig point has been on our radar for a while now as it has become a bit of a roadblock in our attempt to clear a decent chunk of the map of unfounded trig points. The reported lack of a decent track has led to a few deferrals in the past, but today, we decided to dedicate a trip out to Minnie just for this trig.
Having said all that, for some reason, Dad decided to take the two youngest kids on this adventure and ended up carrying them both for most of the trek.

We parked at the suggested coordinates and were encouraged by the old gate, suggested a driving track existed here at some point in the past. Unfortunately, the track lasted all of 15m before completely disappearing. A quick bush bash led to a clearing with a large pile of old beer cans, which looks like it spends a decent amount of time underwater.

With no sign of a path leading away from the clearing in any direction we consulted the map and decided to make a beeline for the high ground and try and follow the sandy ridge line to the trig point.

An hour later, and one gumboot poorer, we found ourselves at the trig point.

The pvc pole has been melted in a bushfire at some point, and the vanes are a bit droopier than they should be. It was a great spot for a break and some snacks in the sun. The ground falls off fairly quickly to the north, so the elevated vaun feels much more pronounced from GZ, and there is a great view over the lakes and lowland shrubs, helped by the fires clearing out a few of the leaves.

It was a great little adventure and well worth the wait. Now we just need to navigate our way back to the car.
