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. 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.

Great viewsThanks for the Trig point Geocaching Australia.
#162 Came up here in my 2WD Stationwagon, but it might be a bit tricky in a 2WD after a lot of rain. Cheers and TFTC! 
And this trig point is completely intact and has a spectacular view
The drive up there just after sunrise was a bumpy affair
4WD is helpful, or you could be just spinning the wheels all the way up
TFTTP !!
What a great drive up to the top and a fantastic view.
What a great view.
Found this one while doing GC Cache "High On Moliagul"
Found by Roma and Max.
Having just found the nearby .com cache we took the opportunity to record another Trig find with Roma representing our team in the image.
This vantage point provides some magnificent views over 360 degrees.
