Mr M Flannigan was formerly employed as a Draughtsman in the Mines Department, Melbourne.
Today 120 years later, the quality of Flannigan's work has been reaffirmed by a contemporary surveyor working on King Island, who reports that Flannigan's markers are still in place and well-preserved, and, remarkably, only about 40 milimetres different from the measurements made by modern GPS equipment [REF].
