Description

This Trig is located on the summit of "Mount Fatigue".

A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.

A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.

Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape. Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to get to.

These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

To log a find on the Geocaching Australia website, you will need to include a picture of the trig point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property or in a dangerous location, you may archive the cache, by clicking on Log this Cache and place an "Archived" log on the Geocaching Australia website.

If you feel that you can add to the description of this trig point or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.

    

Using the web-based "Survey Marks Enquiry Service (SMES)", the mark-name and alternane name for this survey marker have being acquired.
The name for this cache has being renamed from the former "Mount Fatigue" to the official "FATIGUE 1952-WOORARRA PM 29"

Weather conditions were unfortunately wet/cold/windy for this visit.
Will definitely revisit with better weather.

Tracks Conditions/Recommendations

4WD/AWD in the wet (4H engaged on certain sections).
2WD only if tracks are dry and vehicle has good clearance.
A few pot-holes to avoid but none that were too bad and no ruts.
Lots of sticks/tree bark on the tracks, so be prepared to remove if you hear them dragging along.
The tracks leading to the summit are wide fire-trail used by logging trucks.

UHF-28 used by logging-trucks.
