Description

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 get to.
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 poin. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

Another quick find as I drive home from Bathurst after a Canberra Invasion . Thanks for the trig geocaching Australia.
The air was crisp as GLISS! and I stopped in here on our way to Bathurst. Managed to get a photo of the trig but left the cache as a muggle had settled in to ponder the universe in front of the beautiful views.
Out with Sophoutloud on the way home from Kozi and grabbing a few caches and trigs as we go, hopefully will be able to claim a few more regions. Getting late in the day and we still have quite a way to get home but we just couldn't resist grabbing a few more, sleep is for the weak right? nice and easy drive to the top of the hill and a good view over the town

On our way home sadly. But always time to stop of a cache or a trig or maybe both! Especially when your traveling with outdoornut22. Also not far off the main road. In my opinion this was a great spot to stop weather your geocaching or not, maybe it was the weather or the time of day but it was a fabulous lookout and just a really neat and tidy park! Looking at the old records there’s another old trig here so we’ll get outdoornut22 onto that

Another if day out caching. Today it's all about getting home. Long drive from Orange to Shellharbour with lots of caches on the way. Was getting sunny and warm quickly, but otherwise good caching weather.

Nice view of the town from here.
Thanks

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 fourth stop on the first day was at Rotoract and took the required photo quite close. Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia. A nice close trig not often you find a nice yellow cache not too hard to spot

While heading to Tarana to find some Waymarks I decided that if I could, I would head a bit further to find a couple of Trigs that I hadn't previously found. Drove on up to the Lookout, and snapped a couple of photos.

After a stop for a coffee on the way to Wagga Wagga, it was up the hill for this nicely pained trig

Last minute plans late last night for a country drive today with fitzy_1965 lead us up to Blayney. I ended up with 24 GC (filling in gaps up the road from Goulburn) and 5 trigs. Last one for the day and the brightest! Was good to get up close and personal with a trig rather than the distance shots we have had to do today.

#GA993 - 15:10; Out on a day run from Canberra to Blayney via Crookwell and return with Sol de lune, primarily to collect caches in the History of..... series and anything else along our route, including a few trigs. We had reached the northern end of our run, but decided that as time was getting away from us, we would limit our activity to the locat 'History of.....' cache and this trig before heading towards home. Made our way to the top of the hill for another almost easy drive by with nice views over the town. TFTT Geocaching Australia

A day-long backways roady for History mysteries and trigs with rogerw3 ...
An easy to drive to park atop Blayney, but goodness the chilled wind blasted through, spoiling the opportunity to take in the sweeping surround views ... a quick trig pic, indeed.

Found today with whitemushroom on a western touring trip. Great views from the top but it was blowing a freezing gale today so we did not linger!

Found this marker on our way through town. first time ever at Blaney nice town.
Well, I skipped class on training day I Orange, picked up a very remarkable FTF and then this trig on my way back. Very nice day!
Found on a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains with Sol de Lune. We took a short detour off the main road, so that we could drive up the hill to get the trig. Fantastic views from up here - awesome! TFTC GCA!

In Orange for a funeral yesterday so grabbed a few today on the way home. Swear I've found a trig up here years ago but I'll take it. Tastefully painted.

Driving back from Young I stopped by this park for a find of an unusual trig. Shape is the same as most plinths but being painted blue and yellow to match the rest of the park furniture was a bonus!

Bikerbuddy & I were on a road trip to Wagga Wagga, in search of windmills for a long distance multi. We came to this spot for the nearby GC cache, and as I drove up, I was sure there would be a trig here. And there was! I've never seen one that has been painted to match everything else in a park before.
Pic will follow soon

En route to Dubbo with Doppelfrog we stopped in Blaney - gloriously foggy morning walk up to this tops spot with stunning views through the fog.
Headed in and past this one on a trip to Bathurst...

It was rather windy up on the hill at Blaney today but we got some good views of the surrounding area. The photo added to the Gallery is a composite of two photos: the first image is one of us at the trog point; the second image is of the identification plate on the base of the trig point. TFTC
Third visit up here. I am surprised this one was not listed last time I was here. Oh well. A cold windy afternoon. Thanks

Great spot to get a view over the countryside and Blayney - the coldest town in NSW for sure today!
On a cold autumn day with a bitterly cold wind blowing, we drove up here to check out the great view and log this trig. The photos might show us with blue lips I think! But it would be a fabulous spot on a warmer day
