In the late 19th century more than 80 trigonometrical stations were erected on prominent features throughout Sydney's north. This book describes the events surrounding the establishment and use of these stations and also provides a comprehensive guide for anyone wishing to visit them today. The original stations were unique structures easily recognisable from a considerable distance. While the past 120 years has seen many lost to urban development or superceded by more modern replacements, a significant number, mainly located in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, have survived more or less intact and thus provide an opportunity to view them and appreciate the work of the men who established and used them. Tony Dawson has a keen interest in the history of surveying and is the author of a work on Surveyor James Meehan. This new book provides a valuable resource for bushwalkers, students and local residents. Soft cover, A5, x + 117, illustrations, maps, index.
