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.

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 placing 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've found a couple of caches right close by, must of been in our less-trig-savvy days, and we didn't get the trig. We spotted a small snake on the path on the way down, he slithered off, and the trig was all ours. Nice spot....

After a nice walk down through Wyee Point park and some very 'tame' kangaroos, just lying around (mostly), I then tried to access the trig directly. Not much success as there is a veritable wall of lantana. I then tried to the west of the park, and sure enough there is a small, ill-defined track heading down to the lake. The lake's edge is a bit rough if you have bare feet (with the tree roots). Could see the concrete cylinder from about 40 m away.
Sure enough, there is a brass triangle in the middle of the top, with PWD NSW SURVEY MARK No. 377 on it. Took a couple of photos, then headed back to photograph the playground and very nice flying fox (that another gentleman was also checking out).
