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.

Out with Black Bunny on a drive to break the boredom and decided to grab this as we passed by.
Thanks for the trig.

We decided to go for a maintenance run and ended up grabbing a few caches on our journey.
A quick grab with Just a cacher here today.

Out for a lovely morning stroll and found some trigs whilst on it.
What a lovely view from here.

With Mr Beetle waiting down on the main road with the campervan I tried to take a selfie here with the trig in it. Not the best photo but it was the best I could do.
Great views from up here and I tried to get Lake Albert in the background of my second photo.
Now the good bit - walking back downhill to the vehicle.
Mr Beetle had spent the time I was away watching a couple of workers cutting down a tree. He was so engrossed in the weird way they were tackling this job that we had to stay for about another half an hour watching until some timber finally crashed to the ground!!!
Thanks, the last testline series we did involved driving along a road and getting out and taking a photo every now and then. This one wasn't that simple though!!!

With a 3 day weekend on hand, what better way to use one of them as a day of caching. 
I started my day off by asking [@AngusnmumyAdventures](http://coord.info/PRRD6GG) if they were able to come and they agreed to meetup and come along for the ride in the morning. After the morning of caching we had lunch at the Palm & Pawn over in North Wagga and then we went our separate ways mainly because Angus needed a rest. I then went to get some things from the shops and afterwards went to find some Trig-Points that have been on my to-do-list for quite some time. I quite enjoyed my day out. 
TB visit on all caches and I would like to thank all CO’s for placing the caches I found today and for the enjoyment they brought me.
Today’s Totals:
3 GC Finds
7 GCA Finds
3 Revisits
After lunch and a bit of shopping I went to collect these trig-points. They were all easy finds. TFTTP

Found with baby&Mrs Gopher while visiting them at The Rock. The third trig in this area. TFTT
Headed to Wagga today so my son could visit his girlfriend. We picked up her and her younger brother and went caching for a few hours. This trig test line was our first port of call. Only got 3 of them as we didn't have time for more climbing. Still great to be outside for a while and the kids loved it.
Pity it has been vandalised. It would look so majestic sitting up here if repainted.
PS We can see the other 2 trigs from here. Decided to try drive closer but had no luck as the gate around the other side was locked....was then too far to walk with little ones.

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1261 - 14223 overall cache finds.
Found while on a caching run with Sol de Lune and LuckyL10n in the Wagga Wagga region. 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. A nice run of trigs in this area - happy about that !
Thanks Geocaching Australia !

#GA1343 - 10:10; Out on a caching mission with Sol de lune and fitzy_1965 in the Riverina. The major target for the day was a new power trail to the north of here, but we stopped for a few trigs and other GCA caches on our way through. This was the first stop. Parked the geomobile and headed up the hill for this trig and then down along the test line too. TFTT Geocaching Australia

A day trip to Wagga with a LuckyL10n and fitzy_1965 to head along the new power trail, but before that we hit up a few of the trigs. Parked down on the road below and after a short climb, the trig was in the bag.....

Found on this wet day, with the rain increasing. The Murrumbidgee River is wide and fast at present, and rising. TFTC Geocaching Australia.

Found on an exploration hike in the evening after work. What a great place to check out the local features especially on a smoke filled sky and a setting sun. The trig point was investigated, admired and photographed. Thanks GCA for these trig point caches as they are fun and rewarding to discover.

A nice stroll up to this one and a pic or two. Nice views to the south of the lake below. Called in on some green "Test Line" markers on the return journey. Why aren't they listed?
Another trig point marger we could touch - feeling quite at home now. The composite photos added to the Gallery shows one of us at the Trig Point marker; and the identification plate on the base. TFTC

Thanks for bringing us here.

More trigs are good. There seem to be extra survey marks about, I am sure they are for something. Thanks. Albida.
Found this while doing another cache in the area. Interesting to see the other markers up here too.
Excellent views from this spot especially of the lake.

I didn't have this trig point in my GPS at the time, but we found it while searching for the nearby traditional cache TopWW. It looks like this is the real trig point, and that TP5336 is incorrect.
Found this Tolland TS Trig Point whilst hunting the nearby cache namely TopWW GCPHP6 while in Wagga Wagga for the Mega Event.
Accompanied with crank1, Varuna and Everlasting, found this Tolland TS Trig Point whilst hunting the nearby cache namely TopWW GCPHP6.
