A Trig Point is a virtual cache which requires a cacher to locate the Trigonometric Station at GZ, and take a photograph of it.

Official Name: Wooli Reservoir
Official Code: TS10987R

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. This one is a mounting post, in the centre of the corrugated iron roof of the Water Tower.

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 had been sourced from Geoscience Australia and may contain inaccuracies. This one was from SIX Maps NSW.

Please respect local laws and regulations when searching for trig points. The Code of the Trig indicates that the post is in a Restricted position - DON'T climb the Water Tower!

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.

Access: The Trig, and Water Tower, is between Carraboi Street, and South Terrace, Wooli; Verge parking is okay.
