The Kooree Trig is just above George Downes drive in Kulnura; the current trig was erected in 1973, and next to it are the remains of the original stone cairn. There is no longer any view from the top, due to the trees that over the small hill.
The Kooree Trig has a a concrete pedestal, with the post, vanes, and name plate intact.
The trig is named after the parish of Koree; the word “kooree” is a declension of koori, a word used to describe the native inhabitants of outhern New South Wales and Victoria. It’s unclear why this term was used to name this parish (but Koree was used to name many places across NSW). The trig station is shown on parish maps going back to 1937, near the north-eastern boundary.
Getting to the Kooree Trig
The remains of an old road can be followed from George Downes Drive up to the top of the hill – there a is small area where you can park about 100m south of the trig. Towards the top, the old road is fairly indistinct, but there is minimal undergrowth so it’s easy to head directly towards the trig station.
