Corang Peak - Budawangs Wilderness. Wog Wog, New South Wales, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 23-Oct-10. Waypoint TP5479

Corang Peak Trigpoint.

Even though it is marked on the map as a trigpoint Corang Peak Trig is just a large pile of rocks on the top of Corang Peak. This is a magnificient location well worth the effort of getting here.

To get to this trigpoint requires a 20km return walk from the Wog Wog camp ground (waypoint for the camp ground below). Or you can do this as part of an overnight walk with camping areas at Canowie Brook and Burrumbeet Brook a few kms past Corang Peak. We camped at Canowie Brook and returned via the Corang River - Goodsell Track walk.

Corang Peak is also the home of the Spindoctors "Tick Tock" virtual cache (link provided below) so don't forget to log that one as well.

Don't underestimate the difficulty of reaching this trig point, it is not a hard walk but at 20kms it is a long day walk even for fit bushwalkers. The area is covered by the Corang 8927-3N topographic map. It would be a good idea to have a copy and know how to use it. Also, the walking track from Wog Wog to here is marked on the topo map and well worn so it is relatively easy to follow. Apparently the campground at Burrumbeet Brook has a drop toilet if you are planning an overnight walk.

The Spindoctors - Tick Tock Virtual Cache.

General Information.

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.

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 placing 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.
