Noosa Hill (B 837)
Installed 1941. The trig was installed at the highest point of the headland. The ground mark is a brass rod in concrete about 1ft below the surface. No beacon erected. Three concrete reference points are visible. These are marked as A, B and C. A 'broad arrow' is also marked on each of the concrete reference blocks. See gallery. NOTE: The stone cairn at the summit has NOTHING to do with this trig installation.
