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.

Access: There are multiple ways to the listed coordinates. I parked at Crane Crescent S27° 59.087' E153° 18.116' and walked up the obvious trail past the forestry gate. The initial walk is steep (Crane Break). Continue to S27° 58.544' E153° 17.589' then turn left (Nerang State Forest Walk) and follow the obvious break to GZ. No bush bashing required. About 5km return, allow 2 hours.
