Description

L3 TS?

 

Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: L3.

Serial number is: TS number not allocated.

Last Inspected on: No data.

Elevation is: 88 metres.

 

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. You are encouraged to leave a description of your journey in your log to help others in finding the trig point.

First of a handful of trig finds while out exploring Waragamba Dam today with the family. A little tricky to locate and couod only view this one from the other side of the dam. Sanpped the required photos - see attached.
We had a great morning out here exploring the area. Make sure you go into the visitors centre, what a great kid friendly set up they have. The geokiddies loved it and we enjoyed learning about the history of this place.
Thanks for the trig Geocaching Australia.

Some of these were hard to spot. Not the usual bright, white monoliths!

On a fine Sunday afternoon I planned a trip to Warragamba dam to chase trig points knowing that on the weekend and public holidays there is pedestrian access out to the wall and picnic area on the eastern side of the main spillway.
The fifth of several snapped today.

Out to Warragamba Dam with rogerw3 and pjmpjm for a walk around and, as it proved, a handful of near and distant(monitoring) trigs circling the dam. L3 discovered below the dam wall, across from the public viewing platform.

A trip to Warragamba Dam with pjmpjm and whitemushroom was rewarded with this Trig.

What a treat to get up close and personal with the dam, keep in mind you can only access this area on weekends.
