CANNUM 1 SURVEY MARKER

A nineteenth-century survey tree (mature Eucalyptus sp.), including: an ovate scar – carved into the south-eastern face of the tree’s trunk; and, a ‘survey mark’ comprising (top to bottom): a horizontal line and broad arrow (elevation benchmark), and the number ‘2’. The mark is carved into the face of the scar. No archaeological features or deposits were identified in association with the listed site during the site inspection.

The site is of historical significance at a local and potentially regional level.

The site is historically significant at a local (and potentially regional) level due to its probable association with early surveying and the establishment of formal roads connecting major towns in the region during the late nineteenth century. The survey tree is a relatively rare example of its type.
