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.
The original collection of trig points has been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies.

Snapped required pic which has been added to the gallery will try again another day
A very nice view here today & enjoyed the drive up here.
I can understand why thomo31 was unable to find it – I had to jump the fence & do a bit of cleaning of the dirt at disc area – disc was covered with dirt - thanks
Great spot here and found TP right there.
Thanks for bring me here and TP.
All the many times at the lookout and stood within metres unknowing.
Great find today, thanks to the research (and sharp eyes) of rogerw3!
Four thumbs up for the fun of a new trig and the great view!
It is there just on the other side of the fence, it needed a fair bit of cleaning before it became visible so you may have to clean the debris before you can see it.
