When I blogged about a chiselled, painted and Post-it noted survey mark<\/a> recently, I invited Scott Taylor<\/strong> to comment and tell us more about survey marks. Scott is a surveyor who hosts the website Global Surveyors<\/a>. This is what he had to say:<\/em><\/p>\n

The red and white Post-it is actually called a Red and White!!! We aim our surveying instrument at the centre or join between the two colours, which we have positioned centrally over the survey mark.<\/p>\n

There are many marks surveyors use, some placed in kerbs, rocks, trees, or buried under ground (hidden), and all on public record noted on a Deposited Plan.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of survey marks I happened to have on my phone. They are \u00c2\u00a0called Drill Hole and Wings. Like the blue mark in your photo, they are used for boundaries and are noted on a plan as being at a corner, or being a certain bearing and distance from a corner. They assist the surveyor to re-establish a boundary corner when that corner has disappeared or been destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0We paint almost every mark we place. Surveyors have no particular colour. I use whatever is available and feel as though I’m a graffiti artist most of the time.<\/p>\n

Here is a rock mark from the 1800s, before and after it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been painted. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s referred to as a Broad Arrow. For those interested in survey marks there is a great publication called Marking the landscape: a short history of survey marks in New South Wales<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n
