Hi All

The other night when I was looking through old desert trip photos, there were images that I take for a good reason - I have a fascination with Old Survey Cairns and Trig Points.

When possible during our travels and there is a Cairn or Trig Point, I will stop and get some images of it. My interest grew from a very old TV programme on how it took a team of surveyors to determine the centre of Australia, a point that if our continent was balanced on a pin, it would not tilt in any direction. This point took over 2 years to accurately determine and today is known as the Lambert Centre.

I have visited the Lambert Centre only 4 times well before I had a digital camera, so that will now give me an excuse to get there again and get more images - this time digital.


If you would like to share any images of old survey Cairns, Bench Marks or Trig Points, you can add your images to this forum post, which I will link to my latest Blog, Stone Cairns and Trig Points

Go through your images and if you can add some more images, that would be great.

Have a Great Day.



Cheers
