Gooroo Hill, Sutton, NSW - Australian Trig Points on Waymarking.com

Gooroo Hill trig point. 766m

An old and interesting rock pile structure positioned just over the border in NSW. This is an older style of trig point which is not common in the ACT. The trig marker at the top has been lost or damaged.
The Trig is on private land but this should not be a problem as it can be easily viewed and photographed over the fence from the ACT side in the nature reserve.

The views are mostly to the south and west. This covers most of the northern urban areas of Canberra. If you live North of the “Lake” you will most likely be able to see your house from here.

The Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve is in the north east corner of the ACT. The reserve’s north eastern edge borders with NSW and several rural leases.
The ACT and NSW border follows the highest points of the terrain in this area so it passes over Old Joe hill and Gooroo Hill.

The Goorooyarroo Nature Reserves hold treasures of national significance including Yellow Box—Red Gum Grassy Woodland, an endangered ecological community. It also protects common and threatened plant and animal species and many indigenous and European cultural sites.

More information can be obtained from visiting the ACT government TAMs website.

A link to the reserve’s brochure is listed below.
