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........

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.
TFTC !!
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.
