Description

Rands Tank Rd, south of Ganmain

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 access. 

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. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

I was heading to Wagga to have lunch with my brother but with a day off, I decided on going the long way to collect the new(ish) trig-points. I made five finds today. TFTTP's Very Happy

P.S. Photos will be added shortly.

I had this one planned on a previous trip, but a typo in the coordinates saw me driving around in circles. This time, I ventured don from Temora, picking up caches along the way, before heading back to meet up with another cacher for a Temora series. Check out Golden, Carawananna and Cottee trigs while you are in the area.
