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.
Logs
The tower out front probably has the Trig Point on it so now time to log this TP.
TFTTP Geocaching Australia.
Looks like they are doing some maintenance on the structure at the moment, heaps of scaffolding and ladders and stuff.
Will keep an eye on it.
We picked up both GC and GCA caches along the way.
Last of the day before heading into town.
So many Trigs ! So little time ! Awesome to find so many today.
TFTC !!
No problems here and the photos were soon grabbed.
Cerberus rules here.
Photographed from Collins Promenade. Easily seen on top of the reservoir.
Maserati Drive sounds a bit pretentious for the area and while you can spot the trig from a distance you can't see it for the trees when you get closer. However if you go around the corner you can see it easily - Lagoonda (sp?) Drive is the spot.
