From the GCA log (FTF) for finding this trig back 24/1/16: (visit link)
"There is a track heading up to a turning circle, leaving Telegherry Drive at S32° 15.345' E151° 45.300'. Certainly suitable for 4wd, but a bit steep and slippery for front wheel drives.
"The trig is now completely overgrown by new growth. A white painted concrete pedestal, with plastic post, and black semi-circular vanes - with the typical holes punched out. It also has a nameplate: Central Mapping Authority, Geodetic Station, Skimmings. The square concrete base/pad has been placed on a large sandstone boulder. Found @ 0820, and seen from about 25 m away. Impossible to see from the roadside.
"Nearby, in the 'turning circle' is a broken down concrete fire place, and a picnic table that has seen better days. I would test the strength of it before placing an Esky on it; and certainly test the bench seats before setting down!"

So first visited: 0820, 24/1/16, with a revisit 1143, Sunday, 27/11/16.
