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.
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.

A quick find here today.
Thanks for the trig
A quick find here.
Thanks for the trig
Our GPS did indicate that the trig was going to be on the left as we approached from the south but there was no trig there so I guess this is it.
Thanks.
I found this trig while travelling back home from my sons wedding in Newcastle.

Last night I discovered that Trig Points were not displaying on my GPSr even though I had loaded them. Today I had fun, while being a back-seat passenger pointing out the Trig Points along our route.
It was 34C outside the car when we arrived here and my husband graciously stopped so that I could take a photo. It would have been too much to expect him to allow me time to include myself in the photo.
He was eager to get to Moree before dinner.
Stopped to do a multi here and then thought we were looking at the wrong info, so didn't find the traditional cache, but did find this trig.
Stopped and took a couple of photos. Thanks Geocaching Australia.
was about the only Trig I found on my trip north. I will have to plan better in the future.
