Location

In a field beside Majura Road, off the north end of the Canberra Airport runway, adjacent to the precision landing navigation aids.

Participants

1PE

Plans

1PE

Go after work, and then go shopping at the nearby Costco mega-mart.

Expedition

I had found from the maps that the site was opposite a fence on the other side of the road. I parked opposite the fence, and found that there was a discrepancy between my map-calculated site and the GPS... of 7 paces.

The fence into the field can be seen in one picture; it is a double fence, announcing that it is part of the adjacent military firing range and that trespassing is not a good idea. The second fence is electrified. So, I did not go in. I was within about 25m of the hash point.

I took pictures at the site then went shopping.

Photos

Navaids, hangar, and electric fence
Along the line of the fence.
