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 Warden Head Lighthouse which has recently been restored & is fully operational. There is plenty of parking, a whale watching platfrorm with info boards & a GC cache nearby. A scenic location.

We were visiting the lighthouse for a GC cache and saw this trig and thought oh I wonder if theres a GCA cache here 
Wow 3 caches here. 
Wow 3 caches here. This morning we headed on a drive from Bendalong Point to Lake Conjola to do some birdwatching, and on to Ulladulla to do some Trigs. Great views from here. TFTT

A beautiful spot for a trig and a great lookout even on an overcast stormy day! Loving the wild ocean. Great to finish off this year with a couple of epic finds

Having spent hours every day since mid March sitting at my computer logging Locationless caches, today I dcided to spend hours sitting in my car searching out trigs and maybe a virtual. I left Captains Flat earlyish and travelled via Braidwood, Nerrigah and down to the coast near Georges Basin. From there I headed south grabbing trigs along the way to Bateman's Bay and back up the Clyde Mountain to Home. Thanks for all the trigs Geocaching Australia. I will add notes that are pertinent to each trig if they stand out in my mind. I will have to add photos later to all logs as the photos are on my phone.

Some council work blocked the road to here, but a bush track from th3 car park offered a convenient detour.

After a hit and sweaty day we headed out to Warden Head in the hope of catching a breeze. Not much luck, but we’re told the change will come tomorrow. No whales sighted today.
This morning we visited Ulladulla area and in particular went out to the lighthouse. We located the Warden Head Trig. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks for the cache.
Headed down to Ulladulla for the day with the geo-kids. Stopped by here for a quick pic at this and the nearby lighthouse.

2nd of the two trigs out this way. Great views out over the ocean. Well worth the trip to come out here.

Unusual to find a traditional type trig marker so close to a lighthouse trig. Won't complain though, 3 GCA finds here and 1 GC all within 30 metres. It actually took longer to log them than find them and get the required photographs. Thanks.
Found it 5:00pm. This Trig has a great view.

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1206 - 12363 overall cache finds.
Found while on a caching run with specimenX down the coast - a really fun trip with lots of cache finds. While I mainly looked for GC caches, when an easy GCA cache comes along we go for that as well. Trigs are particularly nice to track down and find. I was very happy when they became part of the GCA cache family. Its especially satisfying if you have made a big climb up for one ! I have also now joined dragonZone in Clan Cerberus, so there are more reasons to find those GCA caches. Its interesting to find the many different types of trigs. From the traditional metal legs and vanes, to the concrete base with vanes, to the ones on top of water tanks (especially the red ones !), as well the new CORS type. When you look on a GCA map and see all those hundreds and hundreds of blue 'Z's it shows just how many there are out there. Shame so many are on private property and cannot be accessed at all. So as far as I'm concerned every trig that can be found and photographed is a real bonus !
The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted. Always nice to be able to drive right up to - in this case - 2 trigs !!
Thanks Geocaching Australia !

Nice and easy to find this Trig as you can drive right up to it. I was lucky enough to spot some whales off shore today which was a firs. Worth stopping for and a light house also. TFTT.

I've lived in the area for 20-odd years and own a cache nearby, but never realised that this was loggable as a GCA cache.
It is one of my favourite whale-watching points, but they never seem to perform while I am there. It is usually a case of "They were here a few minutes ago, but they left just before you arrived".
Thanks to Geocaching Australia for this cache and another good excuse to visit Warden Head.

There was a man leaning against the trig when I arrived so I waited for him to leave. But he wasn't leaving. After about 10 minutes he moved a metre away and I came over and took my photos.
He was whale watching and had his binoculars trained on the ocean. He told me there was one out there and I think I saw it spouting - a long way out.

Found while on holidaying in the area.
Stopped here to eat lunch and find some other geocaches in the area.
A popular spot for whale watches even at this time of year

I have been lazy and not logged any caches for a while! Catching up on some found with my bb Zal this year. No whales makes me a sad Panda

Taking out some big blue fields took us to this great viewpoint trig. Cool lighthouse too! No whales or dolphins today sadly but lots of tourists. Worth the stop!

Found today with GrimRaider as we had stopped off in Ulladulla overnight after attending the ten year earth cache event. Great views here and love the lighthouse.

#GA25 - 15:00; Didn't realise this was a cache until I was checking the GPSr after logging the nearby GC cache and found this one was back where the geomobile was parked. An excellent day for viewing, but sadly no whales in sight. TFTC GA

A lovely spot with great views> Last time we were here the whales were really close but today we just watched the huge surf.

Initially there were whale-watching muggles all over the trig, so I did the nearby GC cache, and came back to ... solitude! Despite lots of whitecaps out there, the whales could still seen
TFTC!

Ah, it's that big white thing! I took a pic of Jeremy, before realising it was the other white thing. So 2 pics instead of 1.

Found this with McPhan on a day to pick up some of the remaining GC and GCA caches up the coast. A bit chilly and breezy today, but it was an easy pick up close to the car, with nice views.
Was down this way just over a year ago for some of the other site's caches. Good to be back for a nice find at some top views. So good we had to do the obnoxious visitor act (act, riiiight) to move on the couple at the Trig.
TFTC and the gaol.
