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.
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.
Additonal Information
This State Trig survey control marker was identified in the SurCom database and consists of a brass disc set into concrete. The control point does not have an official name in SurCom and so, has been given the name of the area, "Deloraine Cemetery ST1119". Further information about this State Trig can be found from the link Deloraine Cemetery.

I’ve found a few of this style of Trig now. I was driving though town and decided a couple of Trigs is a great excuse to stretch the legs, thanks for the cache

Thanks for the trig cache.
Out on a mostly GA caching adventure with AlbyDangles; about 28 finds all up, Breona to Westbury, via Deloraine. As usual, a great day out in excellent company.
We found this one in the sun, no muggles to be seen.
Cheers,

This was our first cache find after lunch.
Today EeePees and I went for a drive along the Lake Hwy with the prime objective to find GA caches along the way.
It started off a bit cold but ended out to be a lovely day.
And of cause the company was fantastic.

A couple of weeks ago, RLD4963 and I were returning back to Hobart from Burnie along the Highland Lakes road and I mentioned that there were heaps of GCA caches along the road. At the time we didn't stop to look for any as we needed to get back home to pick up the GeoGSP from his doggy pet resort.
When the Blitz game was published, we decided that a drive along this road would certainly be helpful for us, so we picked a day and off we went - this time we had the GeoGSP with us. The weather wasn't terrible, we certainly had lots of blue sky, but also a few periods of overcast weather, and even a few short periods of light snow, and the occasional shower - but it was never cold, so all in all, we had a great day as we made our way, looking from caches between the Melton Mowbray turnoff and Deloraine. It was a big day, leaving at 7am in the morning and turning back in to the driveway 12 hours later, but we had heaps of stops and breaks to have a bite to eat, we even found a dog park in Deloraine for the GeoGSP to really get out and stretch his legs after sitting in the car.
A nice quick stop with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. Photo attached.

Out and about with the Rafas caching, A day that had it all Rain Hail Snow and Shine all four seasons in one day. It was cold enough to lower the temp. of the motor while going up to Bothwell and warm enough driving from Perth to home to put us all to sleep. a great day caching on an old road thats worth traveling on. lots of GCA caches to find, TFTT TNBPLN.

yesterday on my way back to the office from Scottsdale i had some time to stop and grab this trig point. on arrival at ground zero i found the survey stake but could not see the marker there anywhere so i dug down where it looked like it was but still could not find the marker so i took a photo with the stake to prove that i had found the trig point location. i have driven past this cemetery on numerous occasions but never ever thought to stop in to get this trig whilst going past well that changed today.

On our drive from Brighton to Devonport today this was a necessary stop to try to earn another footstep on my destination map.
Thanks for bringing us here, Muggle Hubby was the clever spotter.

#GA2825 - 12:25; 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. We were now out on the Bass Highway and I noticed we would pass close to this trig, so we took a short detour into Deloraine for a quick snap and find on this trig and another nearby.

I had to dig through deep wood chips to find this.
Rated: for Overall Experience
We were staying in Deloraine for 5 days so this was a nice quick drive to the cemetery. We carefully moved the woodchips in order to expose enough to take a photo and then recovered it. TFTT.

It was raining heavily, I had had 3 DNFs in a row and now I find myself caught in a slow funeral procession which I could not escape from. The procession turned left and I turned right but I was a little worried someone would come & get me because I had taken a "wrong" turn. Found the survey peg but as there was some newly laid pine bark I did not want to go digging around for the red disc. However I was a bit confused as in the next paddock there was a big trig. I noticed that someone else's log showed a picture of that.
Found it before heading to Devonport.
will download photo when I get back home this weekend.

A large group were just leaving as I approached, so I sat in the car and waited til the numbers decreased and soon had the trig sorted....

we thought this would be a quick driveby trig. we didnt realize we would have to dig for it. if we read previous logs prior we would have known. anyway we uncovered enough to see it. TFTC
A 10 day trip to Tasmania with a lot more caching then initially expected, but I enjoyed every minute of it! This was one of the many caches I found and enjoyed. Can't wait to get back here and do it all over again, there are so many great places in Tasmania.

Another nice flat drive right up to it trig point. Gotta love them. We've been here before for caching purposes but were'nt doing GCA's then - though because of that I knew exactly where to go. Had to shovel a fair pile of pine bark off the target for the photo shoot - no trapdoor there now!.
One of 25 caches we found today as we tick off caches that have been published since our last visit.
Quick and easy find under the trapdoor.

Found it after nearly taking a photo of the wrong trig nearby. Very quiet here today and no muggles.

I actually went there and took the photos late November or December sometime, but I got out of touch with geocaching for a month and didn't log anything. I'm hoping I'm back, so now I'll do what I should have done a month ago: log this cache!
When I was there the callistemons in the garden bed up from the survey marker were gorgeous. Also photographed an interesting bird (summer bird?) on the top of the tree nearby.
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks to 2y'stassies log this one was an easy find. Lifted the lid and critters went scattering everywhere. Millipedes, lizards and the frog guardian mentioned in a previous log. 2 photos included - one of the marker [didn't like to remove the litter and disturb the frog] and a close up of the frog. Thanks.
Found on our way home from Launceston. Would never have known it was here so close to the trig on the hill just down the road. Guard frog (or toad) in residence. 
Found on our way south for another bite of the apple. The brass ST survey marker is in a garden bed under a board. Next to the board is a red star picket identifying the location.
