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.

The event this weekend was my first Mega and I really enjoyed it. Found plenty of geocaches and met lots of geocachers. This cache was one of my finds. Ziggiau drove while I tried to navigate and research our next location at the same time. haha.
.Just off the shoreline of Lake Munmorah and in, it seems, a backfilled but neatly grassed parkland. The circular top is in good condition with name plate in place.
This one has been partly buried when landscaping took place but it is still there.
