Description

Euston Area Trig

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.

Found this trig with Smittengranny this morning.

25-Oct-20

TG47 and I have turned the corner towards home this morning travelling from Curlwaa to Hay. As this cache appeared to be on the side of the road, we thought it would be an easy find. Not to be. It was down a side street in the opposite direction from the way we wanted to go and we tow a fairly large van, so it was a case of travel around the block. Trig was found and photographed before we resumed our journey. Thanks for another one Geocaching Australia. Dancing

I do believe however that this trig has been replaced by a CORS.

This one had me confused for a while but seems there is no thing on top. Or at least no one else has seen it either so the trig is the tower

I was here in April and I am surprised I didn't log this then. Anyway, logging it now. I had to go around the towers before I spotted the trig. It is off its stand and fallen down. Still on the tower top though.

Location reminds me of the TP @ Tongala, and like that one impossible to get closer than about 25 metres.

A quick trig find between a couple of GC traditionals. Hard to get a good angle to photograph this one.

An easy find, most water towers in the middle of towns are...

13-Apr-13

One of many many trigs found by Albida and myself while on our 2 week trip to, and around South Austrlia. A nice close up of this one.

Thanks for yet another trig.....we managed just over 30 for the trip.

Not sure how this happened but both photos (one of winglen and one of McPhan) are not on the Montana. I've gone to Basecamp and done a screen dump to show that we were actually at the spot of the trig. Note the blue line.

Have found most of the water tower trig point on our variuous trips across the hay Plain, so it was good to tick this one off the list.

24-Oct-12

Found on a drive around area – another ticked off the list & another on a silo – at least you can see this 1 A OK

Rated: for Overall Experience

01-Oct-12

Another trig point on a silo, but I managed to get a photo of myself and the trig point in the same shot from across the road.

07-Jun-12

We are more accustomed to coming into contact with a Trig Point marker before taking the required photo and claiming a find. However, it appears that there a local rules when trig points are on top of silos and water towers. So, we used the local customs and took a photo of one of us with a GPS with the trig point marker in the back ground. The photo added to the gallery is a composite: one part is of one of us with a GPS and the trig point in the background; the other half is a closer view of the actual trig point. TFTC
