Description
Cathedral Nth 1973 - Taggerty PM 34
About this location
This trig point is located in the Cathedral Range State Park atop the 840m namesake peak of the park, Cathedral Peak. It can be reached by parking at the car park for the Neds Gully camp ground (note that camping here requires a permit from Parks Victoria). It's a moderate walk up the hill, though the view will certainly make up for it.
About trig points
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.

Logs
(courtesy of stopping at a few other caches on the way up of course 
). We finally arrived at 14:25 though and Al grabbed the shot for me - silhouetted with the sun at my back. Before long, it was back to admiring the views and then we all continued on our way.Thanks Geocaching Australia.
- Great rock scrambling with amazing panoramic views
Spotted "Red Belly" snake whilst hiking towards "Little Cathedral" after having found this cache.
The view was quite nice over the valley and although obscuring some of the view, the cloud kinda did make it more interesting.
