A return with rogerw3 on a History and Trig road run ...
'Unfound' since listing in 2009, but with the 'mushroom in a deluded belief it was a drive-by and worth the 20km (13km from Rockley) drive for a log.
And 13km more or less it was ... though no drive-by. Up along the dusty Schumachers Road and a flurry of work vehicles appearing through the dust ... to a roadside gate (latched, but no padlock or signs to discourage). No dramas there so off into a pine forest along a reasonably good dirt track, halted only by a fallen pine on a grassy side track. Shank's pony a short way along to a barbed fenceline and then a further 200m or so walk for ...
... one of the impressive trigs one is likely to see.
Given the isolation, it was a parting of the barbed wire and through for the short distance for a close up and personal view.*
A maybe 10-metre concrete block monument with the trig (mast and vanes intact) and a sturdy ladder firmly attached. A climb by rogerw3 and the name plate is also intact, though awkwardly placed. A trig that would be seen across the vast vista, that displays from this hilltop. (Once the location is understood the tower can be seen from the road back to Rockley).
*Plenty to see from the fence and it may be the only future way with the installation of elect fence insulators seemingly recently installed.
