Description
Previously named Yenda Trig
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.
Extra Information:
I saw this trig on the water tower as I drove out of Griffith. The closest you can get to it seems to be on the 'Yega Leeton Rd'
There is no hill here, so happy hunting.

. I made 6 GC (includes 2 FTF’s) and 6 GCA finds today with 1 DNF. I also had 3 really enjoyable hikes though the bush with amazing views. Throughout my adventures today, I also stopped and had a look around ‘Hermit’s Cave’ which is a very interesting area. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and others.

We headed out on another long tourist drive, making our way via Yenda to Leeton when I spotted the water tank with the trig on top, so we stopped and I took the obligatory photo.
This one appears to be the typical black disc on top of a steel pipe, fixed on top of a large water tank.
*Overall Experience: 2*

How am I supposed to stand next to that ?
At least it's not on top of a 10 story hospital like one trig point in one NSW regional centre
Well I am going to claim this one anyway, even if I couldn't climb the tower.
I got out of the geomobile too
There is a great little picnic spot and park on the other side of the canal from which to snap a piccy.
