ACT Border – Reference Blaze Trees

The ACT border is 306km long and I’ve walked every inch of it.

There is a photo album of ACT Border Reference Blaze Trees.

Download a gpx file of the 64 extant (as at July 2015).

I’ve found 64 extant (as at July 2015) border corner reference trees. They are located here:

The southern cluttered areas are expanded on the two map segments below:

Map legend: red track – border walked; blue track – border not yet walked; green text – blaze identified on reference tree; blue text – only possible identification

I’ve photographed the blazes. They are listed below, in clockwise order starting from Mt Coree:
