Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A little hidden spot down a dirt side road/track, accessible by car. Glad I saw it. Bit of history. Like the wind up information stand. By all means, pop in and see if if you're passing by and throw a line in the creek/river if you've got time.

Directions to One Ton Post are easily followed. The last kilometre to the river is through a property and is good dirt road. There is also a big enough turning circle to take a caravan.
It is a really interesting place of Australian history where Cunningham put in a one ton wooden post to indicate the boundary between Queensland and New South Wales.
There is a wind up speaker which tells you a about some of the history behind the place. Great fun for the kids. There is a picnic area and it is a nice scenic spot beside the river.

Easily accessible on a bitumen road. A good exhibit with plenty of information. A hand-cranked speaker provides an oral history on a range of subjects.

The famed Mungindi one ton post. If you've made the pilgrimage to Mungindi the extra 8km out to the post won't hurt. Don't go expecting the pyramids of Giza though. It is quite literally just a big wooden post in the ground. similar to a power pole about 1.5m high. there is a small hut with a talkbox that tells some interesting anecdotes about the geographical and historical significance of the site. In a quirky twist the talkbox is a wind up like an old record player which adds some charm but its not an all day event.

Post has my name on it, so we had to visit. Easy access and just a short drive from town, Fencers hut was also worth having a look at. good to see a bit of history being displayed.

Ever wondered why the NSW-QLD border was so idiosyncratic? Here’s your answer in a 20 minute return trip from town. Evocative setting, story well explained in various formats. Much to admire in work of early surveyors. Quite moving.

Our travels to the one tonne post were fraught with hesitation, uncertainty and ambivalence. But I can assure any indecisive travellers considering the pilgrimage to this historical site it is well worth their time and they will not be disappointed with their visit. I was filled with reverence and wonderment as we watched the sun set in the distance. It will be a story I tell my grandchildren about in years to come.

This post marks the survey point where the straight line edge to New South Wales and Queensland meets the bumpy curved eastern part of the border. It is the other end of Cameron's Corner and is quite significant. A part of our nations history.

How far of main highway is it & is it dirt road thanks in advance
Written 3 September 2019
The road is sealed from the highway out to the property turnoff. Probably only about 5km at the most from memory.
The only dirt is the short few hundred metres across the property to the One Ton Post. The road was good we took our van and there was plenty of room to turn around. Well worth the visit. Enjoy!
