The Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) is a network of around 900 Gravity base stations across the country. The accuracy of these stations is far greater than standard survey benchmarks.

More information on the AFGN can be found here: (visit link)

Designation: 6491-9007
Year: 1964
Location: Warwick aerodrome - Massie Bony Mountain Rd, N of Warwick

The AFGN Web Application can be accessed here: (visit link)

The benchmark disk is located on the apron side of the aerodrome office on corner of the verandah. There is a sign at the gate which advises permission is required to enter. I knocked on the door of the office to seek permission but no-one was there. The disk is accessible but permission should be sought first.
