Description
At 1030m, this 36 year old trig offers fine views over Tuggeranong, Woden, Black Mountain tower, Mt Tennent, Tharwa, the Murrumbidgee, the Tinderys, and more! There’s fire trails all the way, so a bike is a good option for this!
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.

Came up here with DSD today, who I see logged this trig as the last finder 3 years ago! Wow this has barely any “claims” in the 11 years it has been active!
I took the relevant photos so that I could be the latest! Hopefully more people come with the new GC cache nearby

Having climbed to the top of this peak many times I thought it might be time to claim it as a find.

My plan was that the next time I was in or near Rob Roy, I would attempt this trig.
Well I was here today and I had my chance. I only rode to within 1.8km's and then hoofed it from there. Straight up the fence line and then back on the track to the trig. Managed to get back to the old Monks trig (now Fields) in just on 90 mintues.
After anything but average caches before this one
, I didnt think that was too bad.
Great views...well worth the effort. Photo's attached.

An early morning bike and walk brought me to this sensational location along firetracks with awesome views.
Even though this is rural leasehold land, the TAMS Murrumbidgee Corridor brochure says it is ok - just stay on walking tracks.

Coooeeee, a FTF by 15 YEARS.
June 1994, October 1994, my Mountain biking cousin and I rode our Mountain bikes up here.

Oh Goody, a Trig cache is now here, Thanks TE. Off I go again, got there in 68 mins from the water tank, did the necessaries
, admired the views yet again for a fair while, then a great ride back down returning in 2 hrs 2 mins from when I left.

Decided to go on a bike ride this morning, and look what I found! Mind you, no roses up here, but I'm sure it would look nice covered in roses! Fantastic views! Nice ride!
