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.
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.
This is the oldest trig station in NT according to some of the signage here.

In Alice Springs for the GC 'mega' event that we are hoping will actually turn mega. Regardless it is my first time caching in the NT and therefore couldn't resist finding at least one GCA. Bungalow Hill was my lucky pick this trip. Such gorgeous views from up here. So great to come to fantastic places with a hobby that I love. TFTC.

#GA1487 - 09:45; Day 13 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965. After our first full day of caching near Alice Springs today we decided to take advantage of the public holiday and cache around the town while most businesses are closed. After some urban caching, we headed to the old telegraph station for a walking trail and some others including this trig at the top of the little hill. TFTC Geocaching Australia

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1355. Found during Day 3 of my epic 21 day visit to Alice Springs for the Red Centre Experience Event and further travels after that.
Flew into Alice Springs and met up with my fellow intrepid team members Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n for the start of an amazing trip throughout the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and eventually back to Canberra. The Red Centre Experience is the main attraction of course, but also on our agenda are a lot of GC Caches, lots of trigs, as well as plenty of GCA Trads, History and Virtual Caches (and maybe the odd beer or two ??!!
. Go Clan Cerberus !
Another trig for the trip. Enjoyed walking arounf the Telegraph area. Really nice views from up here. Also a bonus with the trad up here as well. Photo taken. Then it was back in the car and off to the next one !
Another trig added to the dragonZone list. I really enjoy finding trigs and also the new CORS that are popping up everywhere !

Visited with iluvtrekking when in Alice for the Red Centre Experience Event. Thanks Geocaching Australia
Mr ILT and Mr richlink found this trig after finishing the AMYW caches in reverse order.
We enjoyed the walk up here and the views from the top. Certainly an interesting trig point and well worth the climb. TFTT

Interesting trig Staton, bit of a different construction to the ones in WA. TFTC.
One of several caches we found in the area. An easy climb to GZ and required pic snapped.

Headed out today to grab some caches in this area. Was too hot to cache so laid under a tree in the shade until it was cool enough to walk up trig hill. Two photos, the first a close up of the GPS, second showing whole trig. Thanks.
A fun-tastic little stroll from the Telegraph Station
The views are damn good too

Exploring the old telegraph station today. Great area, loved the nearby graveyard too.
Visiting the Telegraph Station area for a few walks. Not very steep here compared to a few other nearby trigs but still a rather nice view of the surrounding area
Spent the day seeing the sights around Alice Springs grabbing caches along the way.
Made the climb to see the view.

It was a pleasant walk to the top of Trig Hill and we were rewarded with some very pleasing views.
Another spot with great views, and a relatively easy walk up the steps to the trig! Caching with the iPhone today.

found the GC cache here before trip points were loaded on the system. Up the hill today with the kids to snap the pic.

Follow the Trig Hill walk arrows from the Telegraph Station - you're there when you get to the 360 degree views. Excellent spot and hard to believe it's so close to town. Definitely worth the little hike up the hill!
