Description

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.  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.

With most of the clan heading down to Sydney to see the Gruffalo with Pop, Dad and one of the boys took the chance to mop up some of the trig points around the lake.

It was nice to be able to mix a more traditional trig point in with all the lake survey markers today. We approached from the East and not only could we see the rusty looking trig point from up close, we also found the old concrete pillar graffitied and discarded outside the fence to the water tower.

A rainy public holiday afternoon with my Dad in tow.... we're off for some of the new trigs down here. Ended up with 5 trigs in between showers.
We did the close-up and the distance pic for this one, we might come back with the drone for a proper shot.

Up close, it is not possible to see. You will spot it as you approach.
