A seaside, concrete cairn type trig situated in Burrewarra Point Reserve.

Burrewarra Trig
is a concrete cairn type trig situated in
Burrewarra Point Reserve.

It has become overgrown with the coastal heath. There is a light house (or probably more correctly, a light tower) that you can see above the scrub on your approach was first commissioned 1974.

There is an easy walking access from Burri Point Road, Guerilla Bay or do as we did and take the Costal Walking Track from Barlings Beach travelling over many headlands and clif tops. Start at S35º 49.811 E150º 12.336 and look for the path that goes up, not along the beach.

Along the way we found the native Orchids in bloom and a lot of fantastic fungus forms.

The whale migration was on and from Long Nose Point we could se a pod of at least ten whales breaching. Though too far off shore for photography they were an exciting sight.

If you are caching along the wat there is GC1W1VJ "Barlings View".

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.
