Description

Have you looked for and find Trig Points (also known as a Trigonometric Station)​ on Geocaching Australia?    If so, how many have you managed to find and claim?

If you've managed to find and claim 300 of them, well here is an extra cache for you to go and find as a reward for all those hikes up those hills.    Simply head on out and make the find and then log a find here.    Just remember you must have found at least 300 Trigs.    I'm sure you know where to look to check if you found 300, but just in case.

From the main page of geocachingaustralia.com.au :

  • Click on 'Menu' on the top right hand corner,
  • Click on 'Statistics,
  • Click on  'Statistics - Graphs of Cachers' View Now,

From there select the following from the drop down boxes:

  • Geocaching Australia Only
  • All
  • Cachers by Finds Trigpoints

(Note: Checking the statistics in this manner will include any Trig Points you may have found in NZ) 

Once you've checked the stats to see how many Trig Points you have found, and if you qualify, you can head out to find and log this cache.  

A few tips to help you enjoy the walk:

  • Allow 2 hours.   You can walk to the summit and back in less time, but you have to find the caches, and maybe check the views along the way and certainly from the top,
  • Park at these parking co-ords, S35 22.790 E149 04.620 
  • Find the caches in the numbered sequence,
  • Follow the trail to the summit of Mt Taylor.   The caches will be off the trail 20-40 metres.    After you find the cache, head back to trail the same way.   This way you wont miss any.

I will check claims against this reward, and even though I can't delete your log, I can name and shame you on the page....so please, don't log this cache until you have reached the required number of finds.   

Have fun...while you find yourself a few more smilies........

It was a warm and fun filled day when we as a group tackled Mt Taylor which included Fitzy, MinnieK, Gliss, Aykayam and Tankengine. It nearly killed me actually but it was a good day. Went up the top and over and back down. I forgot to log these so writing a note now and back dating and will check which ones I qualify for.

GCA 2,658. Found during a meander up Mount Taylor today with minniek and a bunch of others.

Having done all but one of the (obvious) caches up here my main aim was to finish the Trig Reward Caches. All were found with no problems and they are in good condition.

As of today I have 562 Trigs.

Okay, so we know that geocachers can get a little obsessive, right? I started entertaining the idea that when I got to the bottom of this side of the mountain, I could just call an Uber to get myself back to the car. I first grabbed this one from the lower side, but topside was the best way.

Back on the track again Mrs Y'stassie was joined by a very friendly little dog, one of the many walking the mountain with their owners this morning. Fortunately the dog's young owner was running to the top so her dog was encouraged to run again and they were soon out of sight and Mrs y'stassie was able to go bush again.

After a short walk along an animal track she found herself near gz and after a short search located the well hidden cache cotainer. Cache and contents were in good condition. After replacing the container it was back to the track for a steepish climb.

As we have logged over 500 finds of trig points we qualify to log a find for this cache.

Thanks again Sol De Lune for another very good hide.

#GA1714 - 15:15; I saw this series published a couple of days ago and decided that I should get out there and give it a try as I now qualified for all 10 of the challenges after a recent caching mission to the NT and back with the CO where we collected more than 100 trigs for the trip across five states and territories which brought my total trig finds to 554. After a short detour to collect a GC multi on the way past, made it to GZ for this cache and after a little bit of hunting up and down was again greeted by a blank log sheet for another *FTF*.
