The Surveyors Mark
This sculpture, which depicts a surveyor`s theodolite, recognises the work of Paul Bielenberg and all surveyors who contributed to Century Mine before and during production.
Whilst working with M. H. Lodewyk Pty Ltd (Mount Isa) in the years leading up to the start of production at Century Mine in 1999, Paul carried out initial surveys for Century`s infrastructure. This included the 304 km pipeline corridor between Lawn Hill and Karumba.
Along with the pilot and two other passengers, Paul Bielenberg died in a helicopter crash near Gunpowder in 2006 while undertaking surveying in that area. He lies at rest at Gregory Downs.
Crafted by Shane Gerlach, The Surveyor`s Mark was completed with the assistance of Geoff Reid, Ross Quadrio, Martin Powley, and Julie Hilder from MMG Century, along with Julian Graham (M. H. Lodewyk Pty Ltd).
