Description
Lambie Old TS?
Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: Lambie Old.
Serial number is: TS not allocated.
Last Inspected on: September 1974.
Elevation is: 1290 metres.
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.
Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

Logs
Lambie Old and Lambie have been on the 'mushroom agenda for an age - a previous visit halted before the gate. An oft passed, with regret, side road there was no hesitation for a revisit, though the road was heavily rutted after recent rains.
With the error of my ways - the gate is chained, not locked - pointed out by rogerw3, it then made for the walk up the good track towards the towers and the trig tucked back towards the treeline. In good condition in a clearly marked surround Lambie Old is within metres of Lambie, though oddly, not within the rockpile. Great views in all directions and would have been impressive without the comms towers aclutter.
