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 point, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. 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 place 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.

We bailed on physical caches in the pouring rain in Orange today, so decided trigs were the answer - its been a while since we grabbed a reservoir one....

On an Orange surrounds trig hunt with rogerw3 in dismal Wintery conditions ...

Up a slip-sliding muddy hill - though there are far better view points belatedly sighted - for a 'close up' photo ... it could have been easier!

Took my 20 year old for shopping trip to Orange today. Grabbed a few Trigs along the way. Smile
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.

This one was a little hard to get close to at first due to excavation work, but we snuck in the open gate to get a closer shot. Glad it hadn't rained for a couple of days or we would have been bogged in the mess the excavators had made.

Now here is a trig point you can see from miles away Cool
I was a couple of miles away on me pushbike and could see it up on a nearby hill as I steadily pedaled toward it.
Due to the fence around the water tank I could get no closer than 20 metres from the trig point itself, but I reckon that is good enough Speak to the Hand
Unfortunately to get a picture where the actual black disc of the trig point is visible, I had to move about 50 metres away Smile

A good spot to be on the pushbike Smile
They only build water supply tanks on top of hills Razz
So I could enjoy the downhill rolling to the next cache from here.

A relatively easy find. Can't believe this one hasn't been logged for so long!

Found this one while in Orange between Xmas and New Year. Easy enough to spot after a short walk through the bush. Vanes on a water tank.

There's another one similar at the other end of town. Will publish later.
