Whodunit Geocache

Description

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. 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.

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..

Additional Information

This primary GPS station is located in Bicentennial Park towards the northern end of Campbell Town. It does not have an official DPIW name and "Campbell Town North" is descriptive of the general location. It is listed in the DPIW SurCom database as ST1098. It is easy access.

Further information can be obtained from Campbell Town North ST1098

#GA2833 - 14:30; After an early morning arrival in Devonport, the geohoney and I disembarked from the Spirit of Tasmania II with a bit of time on our hands before we headed to Port Sorell for breakfast with friends. Finally located a bakery in Latrobe after failing to do so in Devonport, but we did find a couple of caches there. After a nice breakfast in our friends' new home, it was time to head off again for Hobart. Following a few more finds we made it to Launceston and then along the Midlands Highway to Campbell Town. Parked the geomobile and while the geohoney got some retail therapy, I did a spot of caching. Collected the geohoney and stopped to grab this trig on our way out of town. Started off too low, but made it up to the trig as the rain continued to fall. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

After sorting through various aspects of the dz trophy points it looked like another rather long day trip was in order. The prime objective being a cache in the southern midlands area then collecting any other available GA caches on the way back home with side road diversions where needed.After days of abysmal cold weather up in the NW, the forecast for today over the midlands was for a frosty start then a generally clear morning.Set off at 8am in very over cast and freezing conditions but further south the skies had cleared for a rather sunny morning.After 2 3/4 hrs driving, gz for the main cache 'C u on the highway' was closing in. After signing the log it was time to head back north calling in to find this trig cache. Came from wrong angle initially but soon found the way in. Grabbed required photo...TFTC GCA cheers ST.

We loved bimbling about exploring and poking around in all the shops and reading historic signs. Needless to say we took loads of photos, and were pleased that we got back home before it started to rain again. Laughing

The cluster of GC caches, GCA caches and trig points here was enough incentive to stop at this nice little town while on our way down to Hobart. This was first of the bunch and we soon spotted the plaque for photographing at 11:35.

Thanks Geocaching Australia.

A quick find in the evening, you can see why there's a trigpoint here !
Thanks for the cache, GCA !

A very clearly defined well tended benchmark. Makes a change from one or two recent ones we've done where BYO gardening tools are highly desirable. Spades, whipper snippers, that sort of thing.

777. On the way out of town and this one was nearby. A quick hop up the grade and a happy snap of feet taken to prove I stood there. Or are they stunt feet?

Was dark when I was heading through Campbelltown tonight, and initially wandered around below, then realised I could access above without having to climb and also be behind a barrier. That kept the terrain rating realistic. Thanks for this listing 2y'stassies.

Found in the company of Tassie Trekkers on the way home from a weekend in Swansea. A drive by trig. TFTC.

You did find the trig OldSaint - "ST" means "State Trig". It is one of many trig points in Tasmania that doesn't have a beacon.

Couldn't find a Trig but found ST1098 at 1227hs!

Discovered the existence of this Primary GPS station or trig point when researching trig points and we visited on our last trip through Campbell Town. The required photo has been added to the Gallery.
