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.

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.

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.

Enter track to trig from highway at S35° 47.069 E148° 30.482. Then either walk or drive to the gate, which is about half way to the trig; after which it's a short up and then mostly a flat walk to the trig. Not hard :).

I found a track just off the highway that leads right up close to this trig. Unfortunately there is a locked gate only part way in. So I walked the very short distance up a very mild slope to this trig. I enjoyed eyeing off the wildflowers today. I've been seeing a lot of the same thing but this time, I took notice of them. There are a lot of different yellow ones.

This trig had a couple of ineligible signatures on the vanes, the name stamped into it, and an arrow stamped into one fo the vanes. I only found out recently that those arrows signify government property, like the arrows on convict uniforms back in the day. Well there you go.

I got a couple of shots for GCA including a selfie with a geo-halo over my head. haha.

Strange this trig has only been logged twice before me, as it's a very easy trig to get to. Enter track to trig from highway at S35° 47.069 E148° 30.482. Then either walk or drive to the gate, which is almost half way to the trig; then it's a short up and then mostly a flat walk to the trig. Mind you, the grass seeds weren't much fun Wink

It is surprising that this trig has only been visited once since GCA released this trig point information. The walk up from the highway had stunning views of the Long Plain area and as the walker approached the trig then equally stunning views of the Giandra River and New Chum Hill were possible. Brumbies kept an eye on my walk but inconveniently so did a couple of mad magpies who swooped mercilessly as I approached the trig. Great views within 400m of the highway and so I plan to return to this point next winter for a totally different view.
It is nice to climb high peaks without danger of falling off rocks.
Thanks GCA for this great cache series.

An old style trig not far from the Snowy Mountains Highway. There's a track where you can park and walk to the trig at S35° 47.069' E148° 30.482'. Some good views at the top if you don't mind the hum of the power lines.
