A trig situated on top Joe White Malting Silo at Tamworth TS7384
A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar (this one is white), 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. 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.
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.

[Haha. That's embarrassing - 2 dodgy words for a log. I was trying to log these caches quickly when passing it before I forgot which ones I got. Did this in a hurry just to reclaim Griffin territory. Silly hey.]
Late logging - 9/10/16, as just realised that it wasn't logged yet.
We saw this trig on the way north. Thanks.
