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
Now heading towards Bathurst and after stopping to visit a phone box, we then headed up the old road in search of this trig. The fog was thick and at GZ the long grass wet, however the rock trig was spotted easily enough and the required photo grabbed.
Another trig FTF with rogerw3, while visiting the scenic Capertee area.
Two large piles of rocks, the remains of the old cairn, were first visible as we drove up next to the fence.
Then we found the pieces of the vanes!
A good adventure!
Only the remains of the original cairn are to be found, but the split up vanes can be seen on the ground.
