Description

This trig point appears on the ACTmapi Survey Infrastructure Map and includes the (MC) tag, which identifies it as a trig point.

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.

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.

This week consisted of getting away from work early enough to visit four or five caches, either on my scooter or driving, to try and continue building up my calendar finds days. Some days needed a specific cache type as well. This week was a lot nicer weather wise until Friday when it Started to rain.

This was my second day in a row around Fisher and Warramanga. With a trig and a cache I had to stop. I met a muggle with a great little dog who seemed quite interested in the subject. Nice hide, plenty to choose from.

Thanks

Another mixed up trig/survey marker with a real trig in the background high on a hill that I hope to walk to one day and that is when I will log that one.

This afternoon I had a wonderful time targeting Trig caches around the area. I have actually photographed 9 trigs but will only log 8 as I am hoping to claim the 8th one when I get around to walking up closer to it. Thanks Geocaching Australia for publishing all these trigs to challenge us to get away from the locationless that are so numerous at the moment. Apologies for the generic logs. Dancing
