Description
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ.
Official Code: TS10888
Official Name: Numbaa
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.
Located on a water tower in Greenwell Point near the mouth of the Crookhaven River. Obtained name of Trig from Geoscience web site.

mangrove swamp and littoral forest - which are not well represented in other
conservation areas on the south coast." Haha.
Well, I figured if I'm down here I might as well expire somewhere else, so Greenwell Point it was. You can't help but notice this trig driving in, so I had to pull over and snap a photo with the Cappie.
What a cute little spot this is! Drove around the streets and pulled up and put my feet in the water at and sat on all the public jetties i found, but didn't buy local oysters as they just aren't my thing.
Quick park and snap here today.

A bit hard to miss this one, even on a dull and damp day.
Did a lovely Sunday meander around the region. Found this Trig to add to the collection - finders are few and far between !
TFTC !!
Albida.
Was surprised to see it all the way up there though.
