Pitt Town TS3749
Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: Pitt Town.

This typical trig is located on top of a small to medium sized greenish water tower on legs, situated very close to Hall Street near the intersection of Punt Road, in Pitt Town -- not far from the Hawkesbury River.

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 access.
These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

Logs
Went out today to gather some Trig Point caches.
Thanks Geocaching Australia.
Now I finally have a pic to log the find.
TFTC GcA,
Roostaman.
Unusual light brown colored Trig, otherwise typical of reservoir trigs, a steel frame with mast and vanes over a steel post.
Luckily this tower is easy to find just using the name, abd I was able to grab a pic. Not a great pic though, as the camera battery was dead flat, and the phonecam is very basic - but just eough for such a pic.
(the lump at the bottom of the pic is the GPSr).
It was just on Dawn, so there is a touch of colour in the sky.
Tks ..... Geocaching Australia .... GazMag
