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.
 

Located adjacent to a GC cache. Short walk from the carpark with views over Green Island nearby.

After walking on the beach below, MrT walked across to the island and back as it was low tide. Then MrT headed on up the track to find this trig. Photo taken with his hat sitting on the trig. TFTT

Found it on a very, extreeemely, windy, windy, windy day.
Have been here before back on June 27 2011, there was a GC cache here back then and didn't know about this type of Caching.
Walked over from Lake Conjola where we were staying for the weekend.
Came in totally the wrong way, straight up from the beach and had to bush bash a lot of the way.
Great, if not somewhat obscured view of the coast line.
Thank you for bringing me here Geocaching Australia. Very Happy

Cunjarong Point, a lovely spot tucked away off the Princess Highway. Great beaches and coastal views. Well worth stopping here. TFTC.

Out caching and decided to visit some little coastal Hamlets. I assumed with surety that I had all Waymarks and Caches loaded on my GPS for this area and went about collecting them all so I didn't have to return. I was most disappointed when logging them at home to see I had missed many. Oh well. A 'nice' easy walk through the shrubs and trees to this Trig Point. A little further long is a stunning view of a little island. Liked it here.

Myself and the hubby have been on h'day so for a week we have to head back to Canberra tomorrow. So we came over her to look at this trig and the views, but we ended up going for a nice walk along the beach and getting some great pic's of the wild life down at the water the star fish where great.
Thanks for bring us to this great spot geocaching Australia

I can imagine why it is not listed. Considering its position nowadays I can imagine it has no use anymore as a Trigpoint?
Nice walk over indeed!

Had been studying my Topos & identified some 70 odd Trigs in the Shoalhaven, many of which are not listed on GCA. This is one of them. Short walk with good coastal views along the way. Business on top missing.
