Description
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 centre 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.

The walk was enjoyable enough, well until the rain set in, and then it wasn't pleasant.
Some very interesting sites along the way - two graves with think were for dogs and a number of nice views.

I had been out here on the 26/10/2019 after finding a nearby cache and decided to publish this trigpoint.
I hadn't logged it, letting someone else eget the *FTF*.
Today I was back out here looking for another cache and a FTF as its been over two months and no one else has found it I am going to claim the FTF on it.
