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
We found the cache on the way, pushed on along a dry track (considering the deluges of late) to the trig. You might need a really low tide or really wet pants to sit on the trig, but its there. I agree - T2.... (edited cache description)
but I must admit I was thinking "Doh!" when I saw the name of the trig was "Radio Towers" as I thought I'd got photoes of the wrong thing. But all is good. High tide maybe so I didn't try to jump on the thing itself. TFTC and cheers all! 
One of the many trigs we found whilst exploring this area. A floating trig - something you don’t see every day.
