Description
Culcairn Trig
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.

International Geocaching Day 2024
It worked in well that it was my weekend off and so I decided on making a day of Geocaching. Throughout the day it rained on and off but never when I was out of my car finding the Caches. I woke up early and headed to Albury for the event down there. Before arriving at the event, I stopped off at the Ettamogah Pub for the virtual and AL. Then I headed over to the event. It was great fun talking all things Geo. Next, I headed up Monument Hill to find a cache up there and then over to Subway to get something to eat. Now time to head to the Wagga event but of course Geocaching along the way. Most of these finds were AL’s but there were a couple of others in the mix. I arrived at the Wagga event just before it started. Lunch and all talk Geo was had. It was great to catch up with everyone again. Now to pick something up and then go shopping. Last but not least, I found one more cache before heading home. It was a great day out and I’m glad I got to do it. TB visit. A big thanks to the CO for adding this cache to game for the Geocaching community to enjoy.
TFTE’s and TFTC’s!

TFTE’s and TFTC’s! I have to admit to going a little stir crazy at home, so I have decided to go for a bit of a drive to pick up some LGAs that are sadly lacking finds on my map. This is the first for today and was easy enough to locate and photograph. TFTT Geocaching Australia

Found on another trip down this way to clear up all the GC caches again.
Hadn't looked on the GCA map for here before so I have finally stopped to take a pic.
And now it's logged too after driving past for many years since it was published.

Started at Bathurst bright and early for a bit of a trip down south, have a few trigs picked up to go after, got a relaxing trip as have to be back home on Saturday see how far I can go & how many trigs I can get photos of on the trip. This was the sixth stop on the third day was at the silos Culcairn and took the required photo once I found a spot to shoot from. Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia.

On our way home to Qld after being in Alexandra for the weekend. Caching, both GCA and GC, and only going as far as Parkes today. Drove into town and followed the GPSr and soon spied the trig on top of the silos. Took the required photo. Thanks to caching we get to see areas that we would not normally go to. TFTT

After spending almost a week caching in the ACT we managed to move our caching centre north so that we only needed to find dragonzone caches in eleven zones, all of which contained dragonzone caches that we had yet to find. We decided that this was our best chance to have a red hot shot at collecting the requirements for the Finding Centroid Mission trophy.
This meant a considerable reorganisation of our travel routes from the ACT to Alexandra and from Alexandra to Port Melbourne.
After spending much of last evening reorganising our route and finds list we headed off early this morning with a 500k dayahead of us that would hopefully take us to four zones; Berrigan, Greater Hume and Corowa in NSW and Moira in Victoria.
We left Tumut heading for Culcairn and its trig in the Greater Hume zone.
We arrived in Culcairn for morning tea and had no trouble locating the trig point on the high end of the wheat silos in the main street. Photo taken and it was time for a coffee fix.
Our photo of Mrs y'stassie below this trig point has been added to the Gallery.

As we were in this nice little town, I just had to stop and snap this one. A little hard to miss!
I don't usually do GA caches but I was on a road trip with Boot65 who was all over them so decided to log three of them, may as well to get me started!
Wow I am learning about trigs quickly and this is really cool! I would have never guessed that was a trig all the way up there!

Spotted this trig on our tour around Culcairn. Not hard to find, it stands out like a trig on a silo!

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1171 - 11715 overall cache finds.
Found during a run down to the Wagga region this ANZAC Day long weekend. While I mainly looked for GC caches, when an easy GCA cache comes along we go for that as well. Trigs are particularly nice to track down and find. I was very happy when they became part of the GCA cache family. Its especially satisfying if you have made a big climb up for one ! I have also now joined dragonZone in Clan Cerberus, so there are more reasons to find those GCA caches. Its interesting to find the many different types of trigs. From the traditional metal legs and vanes, to the concrete base with vanes, to the ones on top of water tanks (especialy the red ones !), as well the new CORS type. When you look on a GCA map and see all those hundreds and hundreds of blue 'Z's it shows just how many there are out there. Shame so many are on private property and cannot be accessed at all. So as far as I'm concerned every trig that can be found and photographed is a real bonus !
Today was a big day for me. Up early and hit the road while it was still dark - I had a lot of caches planned for this weekend !
The trig was quickly 'found'. Piccie taken and posted.
Thanks Geocaching Australia !

#GA725 - 15:15; On the return leg of our trip to the Melbourne Mega with Sol de lune and Albida33 and this trig was on our 'to do' list on a short detour through Culcairn. Spotted the trig from a distance before we closed in to grab the happy snaps for our logs. TFTC Geocaching Australia
