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.

Was out and about in the Smithton/Marrawah area for work seeing customers, as this was nearby made the short detour to grab this cache while here.
Great area i wouldnt have come to if not for geocaching. Now this one involved a bit of a bush bash to get to but a few scratches on the legs later was at the trig and photo take. Love the little gems around this state TFTC

This one took a few minutes to get to. Thought I'd go one way, then saw what looked at track, so headed to that instead....wasn't so much of a track, but I think the approach was better. Found the cairn and the marker so all was good. An interesting area.....

Found on a day of trig hunting in the Arthur River area. The aim was to get to 100 trigs, this one was a bonus extra, but a bit of a scramble!
