Description

Taree EDM Testline - PM58048

The Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2012 requires surveyors to verify their Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM) equipment in relation to the State Primary Standard of measurement, in the form of pillared testlines or baselines, at least once each year and immediately after service and repair.

The Taree EDM Testline is a set of four trig points: PM58047-PM58050. The distance between the first and last one is 515.039 meters +/- 0.5 mm.

This information was obtained from http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/surveying/surveying_services/edm_baseline_certificates.

To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

Access: In the middle of a set of sports fields, so not really suitable for a wheelchair. FYI, I have seen this field under water in a flood!

It's not everyday that you find a trig point in the middle of a couple of soccer fields.

I spent a weekend caching in the mid north coast region with Fitzy_1965. After a night at the showground we emerged bright and early to visit these fore trigs in the local test line.

Thanks

After dropping me off at the top Mr Beetle drove to the bottom and then walked back across the grass to this one.
While down here we checked out the camping at the showgrounds but decided that $12 a head per night was a bit dear for a showground. Glad we found somewhere to free camp in town last night. Thanks.

#GA2678 - 08:31; Day four of the 2018 Oz GeoMuster mission with Sol de lune. After leaving the Mega yesterday afternoon and caching our way to Taree where we spent the night at a local caravan park, the plan for today was to cache our way north to Ballina in preparation for some caching around Byron and the Tweed before setting sail south again for home. Although not part of the original itinerary, I was able to collect a few more caches in Taree, which Sdl had picked up on previous visits, including this testline. This was the third of the four in the testline, which made for a pleasant walk through the vacant sporting fields this morning and only a short hop from #2. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

Arrived in the general area to find soccer practise in full swing, but no-one was concerned with me as I walk the trail to grab these 4 test line trigs. No problems and the photos were soon snapped.

Found this Testline trig @ 1701; in between a couple of sports fields, next to the Taree Showground.
Another white-painted concrete 'Hotine' pedestal, with black plastic cover over the attachment screw. It has an intact name plate.
Stopped by after finishing some 'cases' to log a *FTF* on this trig that was published last night (when I was ON Call).
Never knew it was here, despite living/working in Taree for the past 19 years.
