Description: Compass stand from the bridge of HMAS Sydney (1912), installed at Port Macquarie, New South Wales in 1929. Notes: The concrete block is beside the town beach. Sydney was decommissioned in 1928, hence the eretion at Port Macquarie in 1929 is consistent.

Erected to mark the spot where Surveyor General John Oxley camped on his arrival at Port Macquarie on 1818-10-08 after his expedition from Bathurst, down the Macquarie River, over the New England range, and down the Hastings River.
