Description

This trig point appears on the ACTmapi Survey Infrastructure Map and includes the (MC) tag, which identifies it as a trig point. It also appears on the SIX map for NSW as TS1457

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.

#GA5058 - 09:25; A caching mission with Sol de lune and Smittengranny was planned a couple of weeks ago and the day had arrived. We had a heap of GCA caches and trigs along with a smattering of GC caches as well. The mission continued around Belconnen as we made our way to this trig to grab a snap before heading off for Hall. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

Sol de lune

Out and about with LuckyL10n and Smittengranny to clean up few newer GCA caches. Arrived a the trig point and soon had the required photo in hand....certainly doesn't seem to be a survey marker like the HL ones we see around town.

I was out caching with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10N today. A great day thanks to all the work SDL did preparing for this adventure. There was a mixture of GC and GCA caches - trads, multis, mysteries, trigs, virtuals and podcaches . Not all of us needed to find all the caches but there were enough to keep us all busy and very satisfied with the day's efforts. It has been very hot and I think we were all happy to call it a day when we did.
Apologies for the generic logs and big thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches. The logs were all signed as required or photographed if that was what was needed. Dancing
