Description

This one is at Eumeralla Scout Camp near the Homestead

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 get to.

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, along with your GPS receiver and (preferably) yourself. Long distance / telephoto type pictures are against the spirit of this cache. 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.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. If you believe that a trig point is located on private property or in a dangerous location, you may archive the cache, by clicking on Log this Cache and place an "Archived" log on the Geocaching Australia website.

If you feel that you can add to the description of this trig point or adjust the difficulty / terrain ratings, please feel free to edit this cache and amend the information suitably. Vandalism of the cache description or other information will result in your account being terminated.

I came through early in the morning and was not keen on walking around the property without permission. I came back later in the day, and rather than walk through the camp property, I took the trails from the gate further back. The track was on the map and wound its way to about 20m below the trig. I bush bashed those few metres to the trig and got the shot. I walked out through the camp property, coming across someone...when I explained what I was doing, all was good. Maybe enough cachers have come through...

I've been meaning to log this one for about 8 years.

Not today, next week, how about Friday, tomorrow, this weekend?

You name it I had every excuse.

Well needing a trig today was the day.

A nice walk up the hill as the camp is currently closed.

The trails virtually take you to GZ.

The view is well worth the hike.

A quick snap and I was on my way.

Wow, what a view, and what a walk.
We climbed up the hill from Ellimatta Rd as we weren't sure whether access via the front gate was allowed. A bit of a tough walk, but we go there in the end and found the TrigPoint just waiting for us at the top.
Glorious views from the location with blue sky and blue sea meeting at the horizon.
A great TrigPoint that I recommend you visit if you get the chance.

Found today quickly whilst getting ready for a rover camp that is on Australia Day weekend. Awesome spot, really loved it. Anyways there is a lot of work to do now so hopefully I'll be able to do some more caches later. Thanks for the trig

#GA1101 - 08:50; Day 3 of the Melbourne Mega Mission with Sol de lune and we were now in Anglesea and taking a round about route to the Mega via a couple of trigs. After bagging the trig further up the hill, we headed in to this one on the return journey. Parked the geomobile and wandered over to the trig, where I spotted a muggle cyclist on a trail. Took some snaps of the trig and then the views, before we were off on a big day of caching around the Surf Coast. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

Grabbed with LuckyL10n while driving around Anglesea during the Surf Coast Mega.

As there were folk camping at the area during the Mega, we headed on in and soon found the trig. Took my photo from the road so as not to get to close to the house.

Thanks for another trig....
