Hello all Does anyone know what "Geweroo Station" was. On map search it was a TRIG STATION - What is a TRIG station? I am trying to find death of GEORGE DOUGLAS who was married to CAROLINE GROTHERR also details of son GEORGE DOUGLAS b. c 1876 married at Cobar on 23.2.1901 to LAVINA RAYNER b. c 1877 Rylstone daughter of JAMES SAMUEL RAYNER and ELIZA SYSON (SISSON) I have Death Cert. of GEORGE DOUGLAS at above station but cannot say if it is the right one as no details are known.

Hi Heather, A Trig Station is normally the highest point in a given area from which surveys are conducted. Trig, I assume being an abreviation of trigonometry. If you have accessed the geog. names site you will also have listed the latitude and longitude of the trig. station, the current NRMA maps have these details so it would be easy to establish your point. From previous experience, the name of the trig station (don't be confused by the word "station", normally this would only comprise a cairn of stones or a metal frame to which a reflector or something similar is attatched) is taken from an original pastural property. Sorry I can't help you with the names you are searching. If you go to: http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/geog/search.htm you find a listing for the Parish of Geweroo. If you go to: http://www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/maps/pmap/search.html and select pastoral you will find two maps of the original pastoral property! On the maps I have, the centre of the Parish looks to be approximately 12-15 kms. south/east of Canbelego. The Mapping Authority Map, Canbelego 8134 would possibly show the Parish at least. Incidentally, Geweroo would be roughly 90 kms.south, as the crow flies, from a property "Glen Arif" my g.grandfather owned in the 1880's and 50kms north of Nymagee, where a few of my old relies were born.
