Description

This 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 NO stamp ID value.

<Driving Instructions>

This is a easy and family friendly drive to trig and is located a short walking distance off "Princess Way".
There is a blue "Survey Mark" flag which the farmer installed on the wire-fence to make it easy for geocahers to locate the trig.

<Parking>

Parking available on the road side.

Using the web-based "Survey Marks Enquiry Service (SMES)", the Mark and Alternative names have being acquired.
The official name for this cache is "Drouin West PM 148-Picnic PT"

Found this one while passing through on my motorbike for the day. I have passed this one before but finally got around to stopping to get the essential photo of my little travelling mate at the trig I'm a Gnome, duh!

On the way home from a working day in Melbourne, I swung past this TP to gather more points for the Christmas in July competition. An easy find thanks to the blue marker and a nice piece of road to explore that I always bypass on my way to and from the city. TFTC Geocaching Australia

It was too nice a day to not do something, so I figured I might as well drive down for a snag or two, catch up with people, then maybe walk around for a few more smileys.

The first two happened, the third not so much... a better offer came up, and I found myself in a car on its way to visit a far flung resting place.

Anyway... upon my return, I cast about for a more interesting way home than straight back along the freeway, and noted some points of interest not too far away.

This was the second, and a far more rewarding experience than the previous one. A little surreal in the dark.

Thanks, Geocaching Australia, for another interesting place to visit.
