Logs
Decided to archive this one for the reason below 
http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Trigpoint
Benchmarks/Survey Marks
A benchmark/survey mark is a bronze disc which is also used by surveyors and are either points of known location (latitude/longitude) or height.
A trig point will always be associated with a survey mark, however survey marks can be independent of a trig point.
There are many (in the hundreds of thousands) of benchmarks/survey-marks around Australia.
As this is the case, it was decided only to list actual trig points, rather than add hundreds of thousands of listings into the database. There is another option, however, for people whom wish to log such entities. There are location-less cache categories for almost all states for logging state survey marks
