Description
Bankstown EDM Testline - PM58058
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.
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/or 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.

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. This was the last trig to find in this series and I thought I might be out of luck with the area being fenced off but lucky for me the fence was ajar and I could cautiously approach the trig. I did not get as close to this one as the others, as I could hear noises from over the hill so I kept my distance. Some slightly longer distance photos than usual were taken before I snuck back to the right side of the fence. Interesting how close this one is to someones back fence! Almost a backyard trig.
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!
