Outline of the Locality of Pinnacle

The map number of the locality of Pinnacle as recorded by the Geographical Names Board of NSW (http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/) is GNB3699. They have very kindly prepared and supplied me with an outline of both the Pinnacle and Glenelg localities. The original document is in hard copy. I've taken a photograph of the document and created and included below a JPG file of the overall map (sorry that it's not very legible - you will be able to enlarge the image by clicking on it).


Here's a screen print of the PDF version of the file.


Very broadly speaking the locality of Pinnacle is located between the towns of Grenfell (30 km to the south east), Forbes (50 km slightly east of north) and West Wyalong (80 km slightly south of west).

The GNB approved localities to adjacent to Pinnacle are:

  • Wirrinya to the north-west
  • Garema to the north
  • Ooma to the north-east
  • Glenelg to the east
  • Grenfell to the south-east
  • Piney Range to the south, and
  • Pullabooka to the west
From the above maps I've produced a more expanded view of the Pinnacle locality. The JPG version is  below.
The fine lines on the map represent different landholdings. Here's a screen print of the PDF version.


If you can image a rectangle bordering the outline of the Pinnacle locality it would be approximately 18 km long (width of the locality) and 9.8 km wide (depth of the locality).

Roads leading into the locality of Pinnacle are:
  • Wirrinya Pinnacle Road from the north west (becomes Gap Road after you cross Ballendene Road)
  • Ironbarks Road, Ballendene (previously Sandy Creek) Road, Simpsons Road, (Garema) Pinnacle Road, and Glenelg Road from the north
  • Mortray Road from the north east (run across to Henry Lawson Way)
  • Goodes Lane from the east (runs across to the Henry Lawson Way)
  • Pinnacle Road (runs across from the Henry Lawson Way), Piney Range Hall (runs off Mid Western Highway and connects with Pinnacle Road), and Hancock Flinns Road (connects with Pullabooka Road which in turn runs down to the Mid Western Highway) from the south
