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.

This trig was close to the side of the road and had a place to pull off so we made a quick stop to take a pic. It's always good to get a GCA for the day.

A very quick stop for the geokids and I. It was very hot and we were in a bit of a rush, so a shared photo for all. Back to the car and we are off!

I found this trig on my way north to Denham. Logging it now I am surprised to see how long it has been since the last finder. I've left a couple of moveable caches nearby so hopefully it won't be too long until its next find.

Probably the easiest of the trigs we've done so far. Thanks.

An easy and short walk from the highway. Found the survey post and GZ was on a cemented block with numbers on it. We don't know if it is an actual Trig Point.
