Description
Sunny Corner TS6036

Serial number is: TS6036.
Last Inspected on: April 7, 1989.

Trig is a concrete pedestal with mast and vanes.
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. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. 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.

So, for me this was a BIG day of trigging.
No 16 of 29 – parked near trig & walked to it – woops as I got to trig I realised I was on someone’s property – took the shots & left –- many thanks

Leaving the GeoReindeer and walking the side road (unsure as to where it might go) for a short walk this eventually lead to a cacher track to follow. Suddenly the trig came into view and while beelining towards it very nearly became entangled in the barb wire fence. Not prepared to cross the boundary to view and capture the nameplate, there was still a clear photo opportunity for this trig.
