Description

S15 TS?

Official name of this Trig Station as per NSW Department of Lands is: S15.

Serial number is: TS number not allocated.

Last Inspected on: No data.

Elevation is: 132 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.

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 first spotted this from The Barracks viewing platform. A much better view from the accessible areas on the Weekends. The gate opened at 10am. Had a chat to the security guys as I must have looked funny trying to find and photograph the trigs. TFTT

Found this morning from our nearby camp. We are here for a family reunion organised by a cousin from Perth whose dad worked on the construction of the dam way back when! Aunty still lives in their original home. We had a great time trying to track down more of these virtual caches. So different from what I remember from my visits here as a kid.

#GA1359 - 12:32; Doing the 'Tour de Wollondilly' with Sol de lune and andrewbt to collect a few trigs and other bits and pieces. We had now reached Warragamba Dam, where we hoped to bag a dozen or so trigs. Unfortunately the viewing platform was as close as we could get today, so we only wound up with six finds. Looks like a trip back on a weekend when it is possible to get down along the dam wall.

We did identify what seem to be two unpublished trigs (Prang Point and what could be S13). In the process it seems others may be incorrectly claiming what I think could be S13 as Pole Point and the real Pole Point as S27. Might be worth checking out. TFTC Geocaching Australia Very Happy

Sol de lune

On a day trip to Warragamba to check out the trig situation with Luckyl10n and AndrewBT. Had an interesting time sorting which trig was which and after a check of the six website https://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ we think we may have identify a couple of new/other ones. Have decided to only log the ones we are sure of, and will come back on a weekend when we can walk across the dam wall to check out the others.

This one is all good......

Sad about the restrictions here now. A sign of the times, I guess. In 1995, I came here with my Year 1 class and we got to walk through the tunnels inside the dam.

On a drive along Mulgoa Road from Penrith to Warragamba today. I stopped at the Dam visitor centre and from the viewing platform there I took a shot of S15 trig point using a telephoto lens.

Also made enquiries about how I might be able to get some of the other trigs near by but couldn't get to 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. S15 discovered, a distance across from the public viewing platform.
