Description
This trig is easily seen when heading North. Not so easily see from the other direction
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.

Thanks for the trig
A quick find here.
Thanks for the trig
Spotted the trig on the silo as we approached but our GPS wanted us to access it from around the back. The first road it turned us on to took us to a locked gate but another alternative soon had us fairly close to GZ.
Never seen a silo with a checked building on top like this one before.
Thanks.
Thanks Geocaching Australia.
I found this trig while travelling back home from my sons wedding in Newcastle.

I saw this trig point as we approached the town but my husband was eager to get booked into a caravan park before late afternoon so we drove past. After setting up the caravan my husband offered to drive back here and take the required photo for this cache.
After the Mega we took a different track and found a few more Trigs. Thanks.
