This is not to be confused with the 'Destroyed' trig Kooragang - TS10774D, indicated as being some 40 metres ESE, but seems to have been under the current conveyor belts. (See the SIX Maps NSW aerial shot).
From: (visit link) ; while on my visit in 2014 I parked in Curlew Street, and then battled my way across a damp and boggy patch, then through some recently cut bushes, and up through a minor 'jungle'. I was badly scratched up by the time I got to the trig. From reading other's logs, who have parked in the 5 metre wide cycle lane, it may seem sensible to park right beside the trig for the quickest access.
The concrete pedestal is on a large concrete slab, that seems to have settled over time, leaving the trig with an obvious lean. The name plate has been chiseled out.
This section of Teal Street has a reasonable shoulder to park on, on the northern side, ie., east bound over the bridge. But caution is needed when stepping over the guard rail, as I found the embankment is very soft.
