There is a “Digest of Land Laws,” by W. R. Jourdain, containing amendments to March, 1921. The Digest and Supplement can be obtained from the Department of Lands and Survey.
“The Theory and Practice of Surveying,” by Johnson and Smith, contains an appendix on the “Judicial Functions of Surveyors,” which is useful when redefining prior surveys.
Another useful book for the surveyor is John Weingarth’s “Identification Surveys,” published by the New South Wales Institution of Surveyors.

APPENDIX J.
[Regulations 64, 120, 132, 147, and 154.]
COLOURS.
Colours are used on surveyors’ and departmental plans, not for the purpose of improving their appearance, but to convey and distinguish between various classes of information. It is necessary, therefore, that they should be as permanent and lasting, and as distinct, as any other part of the plan.
