Description

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.

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.

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.

While there is a track out to the trig it is up to you whether you take a 2wd car there. Should be nor problem for a 4wd (Cookie got his Metro there!)

Out for a day of caching in the forest with Team737, Mighty Minions, Banj5150, GeoIan and MadRabbitoh. After finding Team737's nearby GC cache, I returned to what remains of the trig point. There's no sign at all now of the veins, just the cairn and a survey marker set into the ground adjacent to it.

Out for a great caching with Team737 and Banj5150. We grabbed a nearby cache and continued onto this trig. Shame it has been burnt in a fire.

Nearly 9 years unloved....
We were here for the nearby T5 letterbox, and found the road in pretty good shape, so continued down to find the trig. We found a large cairn, and the vanes in a fire, they look to have been used as a hotplate!

I have been in the area on several occasions over the last few months and always meant to take the drive out to find the trig Smile

Today I got a "round tuit" out of me pocket and set off along the trails Razz

A nice drive in windy conditions and lots of branches littering the trail.
No large trees had fallen though Smile

At the end of the trail was a fully fledged, PROPER, trig point to find, guarding a spectacular view Clapping

Very windy here though !!

TFTTP !!

1720 GAFF1 After finding Lorne TP at a reasonable time I thought I would try to get this Trig which I had recently identified from the Coopernook 1:25,000 topo map 9434-3N (2nd ed.) as GR56658582, 321m elevation.
Sure enough there is a dirt road off Coopernook Forest Way, which is steep in a couple of spots, and quite a few 'berms' to take care on, but generally good driving.
As the sun had just set by the time I got there the camera wasn't quite in the mode to take a photo, and the first couple wanted to take it without a flash.
Am sure there would be some nice views at a better time of day.
When I got home I received the notification that a cache of mine that was only 3 km away at the trig needed attention - blast.
Will check out some time whether this is in State Forest or NPWS jurisdiction.
