Description

End of Hearnes Rd

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.

Staying in Boorowa for a few days, wandering around the countryside looking for trigs and trads. Good fun! This one is a long shot, as many are that are on private property. Hearns road is a public road, leading to a number of properties. The trig is just before a gate to a property. Despite there being no signs regarding private property, I doubt I would have ventured further, as it seems that Hearns Road ends here. The trip is nice and close to the turnaround point...
