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 400 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 400 Trigs.    I'm sure you know where to look to check if you found 400, 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 2,660. 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.

TFTC !!

Spotted the very likely hide and headed for it. This is the limit of the trigs I have found so far. 412 trigs. TFTC Sol de lune.

Okay, so this one is almost parallel to 450, in terms of altitude, and getting back to the top for the trip down the other side is still a sensible reality. Nicely placed. I qualified for this one yesterday, with either Defiance near Abercrombie River, or McAlister in taralga. TFTC

After finding a nearby GC cache Mrs y'stassie made her way cross country to this one. She spotted the hide - no tippy toes needed for this one but then she noticed that a muggle had followed her up the grass track so after reasuring her that she was ok -just enjoying the view and having a breather -she had to wait until the muggle moved on before retrieving the cache. A quick sign and return then time to enjoy the view.

This site was reminiscent of several trig sites she had visited previously where you break out of thickish bush to see a trig beacon and magnificent view. Now time to tackle the final climb.

Again we qualify to log a find for this cache with just over 500 trig finds.

Thanks for yet another good hide Sol De Lune.

#GA1716 - 15:30; 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. Another detour to collect a GC cache on the way to this one, but again spotted the likely hide on the approach and soon had my name at the top of another log for another *FTF*.
