Statement of Significance

Historic Places Register: 8117
Of local interest as only one of only 5 known remaining examples of an Australian Army Survey Corp beacon: this example is in poor condition, and lacks integrity. It provides evidence of an important phase in the national coordination of the land survey system, the role of the Army survey corps, and the planning response to the anticipated need to defend Australia during the Second World War. The other remaining examples are Wellington (State significance), Baldhead, Culraven and Tara (regional).
