The Surveying Profession is rarely glamourised with monuments and statues so this was a rare find hidden in the Tasmanian bush.

The carved panels will tell the history of the harsh Central Highlands region - beginning with the indigenous people, then to the pioneering timber harvesters, pastoralists, miners and Hydro workers.When completed The Wall will be 100 metres long.
