Description
Bankstown EDM Testline - PM58057
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 Bankstown EDM Testline is a set of four trig points: PM58055-PM58058. The distance between the first and last one is 605.010 meters +/- 0.5 mm.

Decided to target this nice cluster of trigs on the Bankstown testline. I parked in Buist St and was pleasently surprised at the nice park that greeted me. Walking past the CARES road education centre and heading up to this trig I noticed a huge area of this park was fenced off for remeadiation. Undetered I continued on to try and locate the trig. Lucky for me the trig was not very far behind the fence and even luckier still, the fence was open at this point so feeling a little naughty I snuck in to make the find. Again another trig with a facelift. Snapped the required photos now on to the last one...
Thanks for the cache Geocaching Australia

Hoping this find will move me one step closer to the destination, be that either the blue tile or my goal of 100 trigs!
