Description
Yuranigh TS 10354
Yuranigh was an Aboriginal guide for the explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell. He died in 1850 and is buried about 3kms south-east of this trig.
This trig is located on the roof of the Molong Water Treatment Plant.
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.
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.

Haven't been to this part of Molong before. The place to come to get a breeze. TFTC Geocaching Australia.

#GA5123 - 11:35; Day one of a road trip with Sol de lune as we head north for the CacheQLD - Dayboro Mega. The weather was fine at last as we set off from the National Capital and made our way towards Narrabri where we planned to spend the night. Stopped by Molong so I could log this trig, which Sdl had logged on an earlier adventure! TFTT Geocaching Australia

A big day of caching between Orange and Wellington and back. Great weather, able to squeeze in a parkrun as well and caches were all found straight forward.

Spent 5 wonderful days at St Arnaud for the mega and now on our way home. Stayed in West Wylong last night and staying in Tamworth today. 754 k traveled today and zig zaging as we find caches off the beaten track. Thanks for the trig.

Spotted this one from afar. There was actually someone working in the building but we were able to grab the required snap without their knowledge. Thanks.
This was our last AGC trig / cache for our 6 week holiday – short distance from the main road - thanks

Took my 20 year old for shopping trip to Orange today. Grabbed a few Trigs along the way. 
Had the wrong lens on my camera though, so took two photos at each point - one with the trig point on it's own, the other with the GPS in front of it but the trig out of focus.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.
We saw this trig on the way north. Thanks.

We were on our way home from a trip out to Parkes, stopping for caches on the way of course. We found a few caches in Molong, then drove up here to look for the trig. Easy to spot.
Today we left Dubbo and travelled a 400klm circuit caching. This was one of the caches we found - an easy drive by trig.
Driving back home to Sydney from Dubbo after a weekend escape to the zoo and an overnight stay in town. We stopped in Molong for a trig and a pie to break up the drive. Glorious spring afternoon for a tour through the country!

On the way through Molong on a GC Yeoval bound two-day roadtrip and with the scarcity of GCA (trig or otherwise) along the way it was a pleasing diversion. No idea of the architecture description, but industrial does come to mind - and with gurgles coming from within, despite its seeming age, something was at work.
An array at the top too, though maybe not surprising in this telecommunications era.

Passing through Molong for the second time today, I made sure to head up the hill to find this trig point.
I forgot the first time
And there is a wonderful industrial age structure to view beneath the trig too !!
An architectural delight
TFTTP.

Stopped at Molong for a coffee, then drove up the road to grab this trig.
It was raining quite heavily as we pulled up for this cache. As we took the obligatory photo, a worker inside the water treatment plant was looking out at us probably wondering what those idiots were doing out in the rain. The photos added to the Gallery contains two images: the first is of one of the 2y'stassies with the trig point behind; the second image is a closer view of the trig point. As this trig point has not been logged, we will claim FTF. TFTC
