Description
Gearys Gap Trig NSW19960
Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: Gearys Gap.
Serial number is: NSW19960.
Trig is a mast and vanes.
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.
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 access.
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. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

Thanks for the trig.
On the way to Goulburn I stopped to clamber up to this low level trig. It was quite dramatic here just above the road.

TFTC !!
Spotted it from the top and headed down just a little grabbed the photo. So close to the road...will look out for it next time I drive past.
I was out looking for trigs, and the one I tried to get (Curtis trig) - I could not get too! But then, on the way home, completely unexpectedly, I found this one! Cool that will do... It is in a weird location though! Mostly I expect to find these things on top of hills!
