The broad dirt track goes 'directly' to a pair of communication towers, and then abruptly ends. While my GPSr showed a foot track from there, you really have to use your imagination, as it is mostly an animal 'trace'. If you see a pair of 'wheel marks' heading into the bush, directly behind the first tower, then you are in 'the right spot'. That animal path will lead you about 100 metres to some 'spear sharping grooves', with low wooden fencing around them. After that, you REALLY need to have a good head for navigation, as there is no consistent track, tho there is some coloured ribbons, and the occasional small pile of rocks just when you aren't expecting them!
Anyway, long pants would have been VERY worthwhile, as there is lot of scratchy bushes, that the wombats, and wallabies haven't bothered to keep cleared!
I was able to see the concrete pedestal from about 30 metres away, as it started to clear a bit there. Still no views worthwhile. The water pipe Tripod has been dismantled, and laid aside. With a 20 cm diameter steel pipe, and raw galvanised vanes just the other side of the current trig. No name plate on the vanes. There is a Name Plate on the pedestal!
