172942 - Q150 Marker - Mt Morgan, QLD - Australia/NZ Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This QLD Permanent Survey Marker benchmark was installed in 2009 to commemorate 150 years of surveying as part of Queensland’s 150 year birthday celebrations.

The Survey and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) has installed approx 60 permanent benchmarks across Queensland allowing the public to check the accuracy of GPS units and growing awareness of the science of surveying.

Sadly, SSSI has closed down their website with information about the project.

Designation: 172942

Location: Grassed area across from the entrance to Mt Morgan's Railway Museum (and Tourist Info centre). Near to the 3 flagpoles.

The mark has no Q150 signage.

An exciting find as there was no official confirmation on the SSSI website that this mark was ever funded and installed. After several unsuccessful visits (over many years) I found the official sketch using DNRM's Queensland Globe spatial data plugin for Google Earth. More info here: (visit link)

State/Territory: QLD
