This interesting concrete benchmark disk which sits off the side of Anzac Ave at Mango Hill. Quite an unusual marker, it consists of a sheared off star picket sitting in the centre of a concrete benchmark disk which reads "PBM" and the designation which is "8K".

Also on the spot is a white post with QT and the designation as well as a white/red stripe star picket.

I have scoured the web for info on this type of marker. Unfortunately the Qld Government is not very forthcoming with surveying info..so no luck!

I would assume the QT stands for Queensland Transport, although this doesn't make much sense as Dept of Main Roads would be the body involved with road surveying.

Whatever the case this appears to be a very permanent state surveying marker (private surveyors markings are not this extravagant!)

If anyone has any info regarding this type of marker please send me a message as I'd love to provide more info for the waymark!
