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 350 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 350 Trigs.    I'm sure you know where to look to check if you found 350, 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.

Found with minniek, fitzy_196, joolay, tankengine and aykayem. I'm sure I don't qualify ... YET! Smile

GCA 2,659. 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.

From this one I could still see the possibility of getting back to the top. I saw a goat track heading straight up, so there was my shortcut. I would leave the others below for another time.

After a steep climb a sideways detour through the trees with a little rock hopping soon had mrs y'stassie at gz and with the cache container insight - another tippy toes effort required before she could sign the log. Then it was out into the open to admire the view.

With more than500 trig finds to our name we qualify to log a find on this cache

Thanks Sol De Lune for a challenging hide

#GA1715 - 15:20; 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. On a bit of a roll now as I was headed for the summit and spotted a likely hide on the approach. Soon had cache in hand and another *FTF*. TFTC Sol de lune Very HappyClan Cerberus
