Description
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station and photograph the GZ.
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.

Love all these silo art sites, and I am sure they are getting better as we go.
TFTC! I loved this silo art and trig. They have turned it into a historic site too. A quick photo and after a read of the plaques it was time to head off to the next one. Thanks for bringing me here.
Quick stop and snap for me here today.
I only get the opportunity up to now to find TP and GA hides on these types of interstate trips. TFTT

A quick drive by trig with caravan on tow.
Tick !
TFTC !!
A cache, a cuppa and then the trig.
Cheers
It got to the point where if I even suggested a stop I could have been bundled out of the car and left behind.
We spent the night in Hay and did a few family thing before visiting the old gaol them off to Mildura.
TFTC and the fever.
