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.

Logs
After our attempt at the old stone wharf was turned back by the masses of cars in the area for a sporting event we headed up and around the water for this trig point.
A nice gentle walk leading to a pleasant view of the lake, with some slight bush bashing at the end.
The kids weren't that thrilled about another 400m or so each way to this one, but it was less mushy than most walks today! They did love driving through some 'water over road' on the way back.
Parked & did the walk to the point – interesting at the point even someone has placed a garden chair here – many thanks
One of the many trigs we have found in our travels.
