Description
This particular cache consists of only the bronze survey plate which is set in a precast concrete block placed at ground level, but has no trig-station framework above.
The 'Triangulation Station' marker is what makes it a Trig Point, so it's added to the database.
This marker has an associated stamp ID value 78-309
<Driving Instructions>
This is a easy and family friendly drive to trig and is located on "Mount Burnet Rd".
Google-Earth may will show a blue-survey-marker flag attached to a wire fence but neiher of these exist now.
Look for a white-plastic road marker as the trig is located close to it.
<Parking>
There is no designated parking as it's on a rural dirt road, but there's a safe spot just a few metres before the trig which allows for safe parking.
Using the web-based "Survey Marks Enquiry Service (SMES)", the Mark and Alternative names have being acquired.
The official name for this cache is "Gembrook PM 100-Cassiterite"
