This Survey
Beacon, built in 1915 is the Northern end of an accurately measured Trigonometrical Base Line, 30 km long, which was part of Australians first National Mapping Scheme.
The Southern end of the base is towards
Byrock and just off the Highway. The Base Line was laid out in 1911. This
Beacon was intervisible with South Base and Moira Trigonometrical Station on Mt Oxley.
The whole process of measurement and
check measurement between bases took surveyors more than two months, including 3 weeks to clear the line, defining the alignment and placing pegs every 24 metres.
