Description
This GPS mark celebrates 150 years of surveying in Queensland.
A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ. This location has a fabulous view of the Sunshine Coast.
Please remember to include a photo of the trigpoint and yourself or your GPS device with your found log.
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.

I arrived here just before dark. It was getting cool which I like and surprisingly I was here alone. It was lovely up here. Now it’s time for me to get to this party and speak to members of the general public.. wish me luck
Apparently we'd been here before for a cache, on the same day with a group, before we knew each other
Neither of us have any memory of it really! It was 6 years back though! Anyway a quick look at the hazy view, read some plaques and took dodgy photos 
Caching in the area with whitewebbs this was one of the trigs we found.
