Description
QLD State Survey Marks
This is for logging the QLD State Survey Markers.
Survey markers or benchmarks are normally a small bronze disc with a serial number. But Some do not have a serial number on them. They can be found in the most surprising places, even places such as bridges, in the middle of footpaths, even on the side of monuments.
To log the find:
1. You need to post a picture of the marker with a GPS Unit beside it (if possible).
2. Please include co-ords.
3. Please write a description of where the marker is located and what is impressed on the marker as there are many different wordings on them.
4. And just for fun, give your survey marker a terrain rating to let us all know how hard it was for you to reach it.
Feel free to Log as many as you find or those that have been logged before.
I encourage all to look and log as you never know where they will pop up.
NB: I have Borrowed This Format (With Permision) From Tronador
Having this under our profile we as a family are more aware of what is around us.
We have found a lot of Survey Markers just by doing this caching thing and very much by accident or stumbling across them.
We will continue to log when and if we find them, in some cases if we have not found the cache we are looking for we have found a Survey Maker.
We encourage every one to look. does not matter if we double up. It is just good fun.

Someone mentioned this Locationless Cache in another cache I was looking for.
This very well might be the most western PERMANENT SURVEY MARKER IN Queensland.
PM is at SE corner of bridge over the Georgina River at Camooweal
Illaga Thuwani/Georgina River Bridge.

PSM WAS INSTALLED IN 2001

We found this marker in Redland Bay Qld
Q150 Commemorative Plaque
Number: 172925
Name: Q150 Logan River
Installed: 01 October 2009

Thanks for the cache
While visiting Waymarks around Point Cartwright on the Sunshine Coast this was close to the Lighthouse
Thanks for this fun locationless Pride of Ogres
Next question was to find out if we could log it against a GCA cache and within a few minutes, we had all the info needed.
And so our walk not only took us to a great lookout at Kiangarow and a September 2002 GC cache but also allowed us to log this GCA cache.
Probably a T1.5
The mark says "Permanent Survey Mark" with the number 109178.
D1 / T1.
A commemorative survey marker on The Strand celebrating 150 years of surveying and providing spatial future in Queensland....and not just a special looking marker, a sundial as well! Don't know how many of these commemorative markers are out there, this is our second and both have been in fab locations. D1/T1.

We walk this footpath regularly and only noticed this survey mark last weekend. Clearly it's been here for years.
The metal disc states:
'Permanent Survey Mark Penalty for Interference £100'
It's number is 21324
This is the first Q150 survey marker we have seen. It has the number 172896 on it.
The metal disc states:
'Survey Office Queensland Permanent Mark. Penalty for Interference $200'
Its number is 41818.
Easy to access once you're on the island. To get to the island you need to get a boat or plane ride out, and be a guest of the Resort. Well worth it though.
Don't deface it, or you might be up for a $200 fine
Then went on to find Maryland trig.
Definitely 'worth stopping', as I wouldn't have been able to get permission to get those trigs otherwise.
Terrain: 1.5
The brass disc set in concrete and pointing North has the words permanent with the double arrow below this and the word "Bidwill" below this then the number 160353 and under this in a box QLD and below this at the base of the disc is Survey Mark. It is all visible along with the top of my GP in the photo. TFTC
Terrain: 1
...edit: will upload a photo once I get back home as I can't seem to do it on my iPhone
It is on the headland overlooking the bay, excellent views all around.
TFTC,

After crossing the Campaspe River we swung into Campaspe River Campsite for the night. After setting up and enjoying the obligatory cup of tea I set off to investigate the bridge. I found an un-numbered QLD State Survey Mark on the northeastern abutment of the bridge. The later fitting of a guard rail which protrudes about 150mm above the marker makes it harder to spot and harder to get a good photo.

As we crossed the Cloncurry River Anabranch on the way into Cloncurry I thought I spotted a Survey Marker on the edge of the bridge, so I swung off the highway, parked, and walked under the bridge to investigate. I found QLD State Survey Mark Number 94794 on the southeastern abutment of the bridge.

I was thinking that Camooweal was in one of the verses of I've Cached Everywhere, Man, http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/I%27ve_cached_everywhere%2C_man the largest cache series hidden in Australia. As it happened I was mistaking Camooweal for Cloncurry, but having placed the cache I saw no reason not to leave it in place, so I just changed the name to GA4556 WanAus 221 - Camooweal Trollway.
Having chosen my hiding spot I emerged from the troll area to discover Permanent Survey Mark number 94816 very close to my GZ.
Having claimed the Survey Mark for this cache I also Waymarked it as 44816 - Survey Mark - Ilaga Thuwani Bridge, Camooweal, Queensland, Australia, and also Waymarked the Bridge Date Stone a metre or so away as Ilaga Thuwani Bridge - 2002 - Camooweal, Queensland, Australia.

This QLD Permanent Survey Marker benchmark was installed in 2009 to commemorate 150 years of surveying as part of Queensland’s 150 year birthday celebrations.
The Survey and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) has installed 60 permanent benchmarks across Queensland allowing the public to check the accuracy of GPS units and growing awareness of the science of surveying.
Designation: 172882
Location: Riverside Parklands car park - Quay St, Bundaberg
Mark is set into the pavement at a walking entry to the car park. There is a Q150 sign to mark the location. Terrain : Easy
Thanks for the locationless.
As we crossed road to treck down to a nearby cache spotted this little disc on the curb...
Quick stop was made on way back to car to nab the required details
Just along the riverbank in a newly upgraded park area....
Great views from up here on the Toowoomba escarpment
Unfortunately this marker has been a bit unloved and is so battered it's ID number is no longer visible
