The 'confusion' with two Official Codes is, that they are shown as being about one metre apart on the SIX Maps NSW site. And nothing was seen nearby to indicate an older survey mark.
Terrain rating: T3
From my log on GCA: (

"It has been on the 'radar' for a long time. Had the car GPSr routing me, and ended up at (I think) 73 Dunlop Drive, Paxton, some 300 m to the North of the trig. While I was sitting in the car grabbing my bush walking map trying to work out where I was, the property owner (Chris) came driving out. He readily stopped and when I asked about a trig station up the hill he said there was one behind his property, and when I explained I just wanted to photograph he offered for me to drive up closer to the house, and then walk up (crossing a fence is necessary, but it is not barbed wire, and easy to squeeze through.)
"There is a white painted concrete pedestal, with intact name plate, but only the cover on top, no pole or vanes. The views are limited by a lot of saplings. Took some photos and headed on down for a few more trigs for the trip."
