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.
Logs
The access road is closed all weekend for ...something.
(i always feel weird DNF'ing something like a trig!)
well hat is promising I thought. We stopped on the turn off to the summit and walked the last 100m. The track up wasn't as bad as I expected. I could have driven, but the kids needed a walk before the drive home.
A nice interesting drive up to this one - no dramas so it was a quick 'find' !
TFTC !!
Another cache where Fitzy turned his two wheel drive into a bushbasher!
Found With Chris
I have seen many others before and will start loging and maybe listing a few if there intresting etc.
We stopped, took our photos and left real quickly as I had been called to work. Typical of the pagers to go off while caching.
Found me another one today as I was roaming the Mogo State Forest south of Batemans Bay.
Another one you can park the geomobile right next too.
The family car will get you here from the highway.
No views from this one though
